She is very timid and is just beginning to learn what it means to live in a home. She startles easily and will either duck or run if you approach her too quickly. While she seems interested in eating near the resident dogs in the foster home, she often changes her mind. Her foster mom puts her bowl in her crate, which she sees as her safe space, but she won’t eat if anyone is nearby—she eats late at night when it's quiet and no one is around.<br/>Curls go outside with the resident dogs and clearly wants to be part of the family. She joins them in the family room and even follows their routine at bedtime. She sleeps in her crate with the door open, finding comfort in that space. Her foster mom is incredibly proud of her. Despite her fears, Curls has never had an accident in the house. She’s a sweet, gentle soul who is still figuring things out and learning how to trust.
