Susie |
Susie was a stray who was quite a challenge to catch! She had been running around for a couple months in the very cold winter months and found a hideway in a nice older couple’s barn. The man would feed her every morning and made sure she had water and blankets….but anytime he’d approach she’d run away. We tried using a trap which we had put a nice warm electric blanket in – but apparently we didn’t set it quite right and the first time she attampted to go in the door released too soon and she was able to run off before we could catch her. Eventually one day she just decided this man who had been taking care of her was ok and warmed up to him. She then was nervous about us but warmed up quickly and is quite a little lovebug. She is still hesitant with strangers and will bark at them but we are working on socializing her so she can learn that lots of people are friendly and will be nice to her, and are not a threat. We believe she was kept tied outside and not socialized at all, (and then at some point just abandoned) so had no reason to expect anything good from people. She just needs patience and someone who will take the time to work with introducing her to new people and go slowly. She is such a sweet little girl once she trusts you. She loves to cuddle and give kisses and be petted. She really loves running in a fenced yard and can run like the wind! She does come when called once she knows you and is learning basic commands. We believe she’s only 1 or maybe 2 years old at the most. She is fully vetted and ready to start having a real life and knowing what it’s like to be part of a family. Will you be the one to show her how great being a family pet can be?
