Dolly just turned one year old in June. Unfortunately, she spent most of her early life in a kennel environment with very little exposure to new people and places. Because of this, she can be extremely nervous of new surroundings. She loves treats and toys and being petted by people she trusts, and all of these things help her gain confidence. She also loves other friendly, playful dogs, and being around calm and happy dogs seems to help her adjust much more quickly to new people and places.
She must be in a home with people who will understand that strangers can be very scary for her. Her foster family has been working on slow introductions to help her build confidence and she is making progress. The CCR team will provide her new family with help to continue this training. Because young children can be unpredictable for dogs, families with children under 10 who live in or regularly visit the home will not be considered for her. She lives with high-school kids in her foster home and loves them!
Once she feels confident, she is a very energetic and goofy young pup! Dolly is very playful with other dogs and would likely do best in a household with another energetic doggy sibling that is confident in new places and when meeting new people. She is currently in foster with a 5 yr old male collie and a 4 yr old female collie, and she plays rambunctiously with both of them. Due to being in peak adolescence, she would probably be too much for a senior dog or a dog that is uncomfortable with rowdy play.
