More About Nan
HERE'S WHAT HER ADOPTER HAS TO SAY:
It is hard to believe it has been eight months since Kaylee came into my life. I just wanted to send you an update with her latest "portrait".
Kaylee has recovered from her earlier "clicker" shock. She is so comfortable with me at home and my neighbors have commented about how relaxed she seems and less apprehensive when she meets people on the street.
She has a few doggie friends in the neighborhood who she loves to play with--Kaylee is partial to other dogs ears. It is so cute seeing her enjoy herself.
I've also taken her up to Black Hills Regional Park, and it turns out she loves to play in the lake. She splashes and leaps, and wants the other dogs to join in the fun.
The photo I attached was taken at the Montgomery County Humane Society Paws in the Park event. I was curious to see how she did with crowds and so many other dogs. It didn't seem to phase her in the least. She had a great time as I hope you can tell by the smile on her face in the picture.
We still haven't enrolled in formal obedience training, but she is doing really well at sit, stay, wait (when she gets ahead of me on the leash) and "high-five". She still likes to chase after squirrels and rabbits, so I hold on tight. All in all, I think she very well adjusted.
She doesn't like thunderstorms and tries to find the darkest place in the house to hide, which is fine. There are no lasting effects. As soon as the storm passes she is back to normal.
So enjoy the picture and know that Kaylee is doing just great and we make a great team.
Thanks again for all you do.
Kaylee's Original Petfinder Listing
Adoption pending!
Nan - female/spayed - Shiba Inu - 1-2 years of age - 29 pounds - beautiful plush golden red and cream coatNan's pudgy, foxlike little face is now often found burrowed in the chest of her favorite caregiver in the hospital. Her extraordinary resilience is revealed more stunningly by this touching overture than by her excellent recovery from her gunshot wound or her survival as an abandoned dog.
While timid, and yearning for more time outdoors in the bright autumn sunshine, she seems philosophical about being in hospital; she seems out of place in a kennel, but she has accepted her treatments and care with dignity and gratitude. There is so much to love and admire about this dog, not the least of which is the courage it has taken her to trust us all.
Her demeanor is calm, and there is even now, while she is still in wonderment over the complete change in her circumstances, the promise of an ardently loyal and affectionate companion. During those wonderful times that she is walked outdoors, there is also greatly in evidence the poise and magnificent physical beauty of Nan.
Her eyes hold an expression of intelligence, and an intent and keen awareness, and they melt into a shining softness when they behold her favorite caregiver. Nan is a brave and stout hearted dog who will bond devoutly with an adopter.
Nan has been adopted, but if you are interested in finding a wonderful dog of your own, please visit our Web site at http://www.hedgesvillehounds.com.
Nan is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
