Update 8/29/13:  My foster mom says I am making great progress! I am still timid and easily startled, but learning that people are not all bad - I even reache out to sniff anyone near her. I have found my new favorite spot - the couch!!!  I get to sit with the family when they are watching TV.   Another favorite is the back yard where I get to run and explore.  If you put my harness on and take me for a walk we will be best friends.  We are still working on the "housebreaking" thing (*almost* got it!) but I  am crate trained . The best home for me would be one with older, considerate children and I would love having a playmate.  Please consider adopting me!

I am a true puppymill survivor which means I will need a lot of patience and TLC to help me adjust to life in the outside world.  If you have experience with a pup like me, please submit an application.  Adoption fee $325.00
