Shorty

Hi I'm Shorty. I'm a 9 year old small cross breed. I'm a gorgeous, happy and gentle soul with my foster carers, but I'm also an extremely nervous girl. I have come out of my shell, with huge potential to be an extremely loving and devoted indoor companion dog.

I happily live in foster care with cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and my foster carers. Due to anxiety and only just starting to experience life as a normal dog after a life of abuse by my previous owners, I will fit into a gentle home with lots and lots of time, patience and understanding to adjust to a new environment and when settled I will give lots of love and cuddles. Due to my previously horrid life I get extremely nervous when I first meet new humans. I try to scare them by barking and growling so they don't touch me. Once I trust you I will show you how cuddly and sweet I truly am.

I adore being with my trusted humans and would like to be where you are. I absolutely love car rides and walks. At home I'm an inside kinda girl and will happily lay in my bed. I'm toilet trained and have not had any accidents inside. I will also take treats very gently from your fingers and sit like a princess.

I would best suit a home with no young children. Teenagers and up would be suitable. I am initially more scared of men, but I have learnt to trust the human males in my foster home and I am now perfectly fine with them.
