Shannon-adopted!

Little Shannon girl had a tough go at it before coming to ARF, so please give her a warm cyber-hello.  We got Shannon with minimal hair from an allergy.  We assume that she was a dog that was just tied up all the time and never given any attention.  Her physical presence and behavior displayed as such.  Initially, Shannon was fearful of everyone.  Shannon since then has grown her complete hair back and is gaining the TLC that she so lacked prior to her coming to ARF.  

Shannon is a young, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Mix, a rather uncommon breed.  She's a small girl of about 45 lbs or so.  This sweetie has come a long way since we started working with her, but she still needs the support and TLC of her human friends.  We are looking for someone committed to taking the time with this deserving girl to see her through her life.
Shannon is good with other dogs, and has human friends where she is staying!  She comes to her new human friends, and likes them very much -- she continues to gain more confidence around new people she meets.

Due to her lonely past, Shannon was never taken on walks.  Therefore she is fearful of being on a leash and she pulls.  This too is something we are working on with her. Some progress has been made, but she continue to need leash training.   Her new family should be patient with her, and provide training and TLC to bring this lovely girl to blossom --as she has shown us so far!
