Delilah was originally with somepeople who kept her in an apartment with little to no socialization. Then theapt manager would not allow her to stay. She has not been socialized with otherdogs or people and she is timid and scared. We have worked with dogs like thismany times before and have seen that with time and proper care and training shewill probably come out of her shell and be a great family companion in no timeat all. Puppies are very resilient and can learn very quickly given the timeand attention they need. Puppies in general need lot of your time so be readyif you plan on considering adopting a puppy.Her markings are striking with different colors of sable, red and black. Shehas a smooth and somewhat fluffy coat. She might be mixed with Australianshepherd since she has a stubby bobtail. She probably won't get over 50lbs butthat is a great size to do obedience training or agility or just having a lapdog.
Update:
Delilah still would not approach our weekly volunteer dog walker today but didsneak up to give him a lick before running away. She now needs attention fromothers to get past her fears, but she is making great strides. Delilah could usa volunteer walker every day to help get past her fears and be ready for aforever home. Please consider coming out to take her for walks, grooming, ortaking her along on an outing running errands. She really needs the socialization!
