My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Freckle! This darling girl was pulled from the shelter with a body condition score of 1/9 (the worst physical state a dog can be in prior to death from starvation). We don`t know what her history is, but we do know that it was horrific and that she absolutely deserves better. Despite being starved to the very brink of death, Freckle has had a sweet disposition from the moment she came to the shelter as a stray, and that sweet disposition has remained in her foster home and with all the humans she meets. Freckle currently weighs about 19 pounds and she needs to seriously pack on the pounds! She is on a supervised re-feeding schedule that includes meals 3x per day with a slow-feed bowl (Freckle has a voracious appetite). We suspect that in her previous life, she was forced to compete with other dogs for food and resources, and for that reason we are only introducing her to other dogs slowly and with an abundance of caution. It`s not Freckle`s fault, but she would likely do best in a home without other animals. She has not been cat-tested or kid-tested, but simply due to the unknowns, we would recommend an adopter without small children. All that said, we cannot emphasize enough that FRECKLE. LOVES. PEOPLE. She has never met a stranger, and she was even very pleasant with all the examinations, testing, and needles at the vet. She loves-loves-loves cuddle time and will curl up by your side or in your lap for snuggles any time of day. She also loves toys and will play fetch (though we are limiting playtime currently, due to not wanting to burn extra calories). Freckle is likely between one and two years old, and she is already housebroken with supervision and completely crate-trained. She`s a smart, intuitive little lady who will really connect with the right person who wants to make sure that her next home is safe, loving, and will keep her well-fed, warm, and cared for! Like most dogs, Freckle will benefit greatly in a home with structure and with an owner who will encourage continued behavioral training on basic obedience and socialization. The poor little lady was likely not appropriately socialized before coming to us, but she has a heart of gold and is ready to take on the world!
