She's 3 years old, a shephard mix (clearly German, you can see from her face) and apparently cattle dog (I guess you can tell by her snout... I should get up to beat with my dog identification).... She's really pretty. She's a little big chunkier than I think they would like her to be, but nothing a few brisk walks around the neighborhood couldn't fix... and let's be honest I'm a little chunkier than I would like to be these days so it's something she and I can work on together! She also has to wear a muzzle at all times when outside... That's the downside, and the reason she's in foster and not adoption mode. She apparently has had some freak-out moments with other dogs, so we just have to be careful... And we will absolutely be careful.
So, if all goes well, we might have a permanent addition to our familly... but if we don't think she could be a good addition to our life forever, then this will be just such a wonderful experience to help such a wonderful dog and hopefully help her find her forever home. :)
Without further adieu - here are the pictures of Sheeba...
She smiled for the camera.. :)
Looking like she's already pretty comfortable...
Already enjoying her new cow toy... I don't think it will last long. :)So, wish us luck with her. I hope that she loves our home, and that we can really provide a loving home for her, and make her feel safe and calm and happy. She really is a lover already... waiting for us to rub her, and then if you rub just right, she immediately rolls over onto her back for you to rub her belly. I can't wait to see the progress she can make away from the hustle and bustle of the boarding place she was at. I think it can do a lot of good for her to be away...
