Paige is a combination of sugar and spice. On first meeting, she is fearful and will warn you when you get too close. Taking it easy with her will win her over eventually. She prefers you being on her level, tossing treats before handing them to her, and letting her decide when the time is right for a gentle touch. She would prefer a home with few visitors, because strangers stress her out, and she will bark until they have removed themselves from her territory. It may sound like a lot of work to gain her trust, however once you have it you'll find it was worth all the extra effort. She loves to cuddle up next to you; come bounding up on the back of your chair/couch and rubbing her head in your hair; helping you get up off the couch by taking off with your sock or shoe. She loves chew sticks, entertaining herself with toys, and napping on you or next to you.<br/><br/>Fosters Location: Harrington, DE<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app
