Sorcha's Story

From Fanny's current owner: Fanny is Irish Wolfhound and half Anatolian shepherd and half hound. She will be 3 later this month. She is spayed, and current with her shots, weighing in at 75 pounds. She has never been injured or suffered any kind of illness. Veterinarian’s records available. Current owner hates to give Fanny up. She helped Fanny and her littermates to be born, and took Fanny home as soon as she was ready to leave her mother. Owner has since become disabled, and can’t walk Fanny or give her any exercise.<br/> Fanny is very intelligent and willing but needs training. (She responds to Sit, Down, Off, No) Like her Anatolian dad, she has a herd guardian’s easy-going and affectionate temperament, but she has been bullied by other dogs and this has her fearful. Fanny also likes to go roaming around our rural neighborhood, but one of our neighbors calls the Sheriff whenever she shows up, so she has to stay in the house or walled courtyard. <br/>Fanny will try to drive strangers off our property, but I’ve never seen her attack anyone. She is sometimes aggressive with strange dogs if she is afraid of them, because she herself has been attacked, but for the most part gets along with other dogs and makes friends quickly. She has never been around children or cats.<br/>Fanny does bark, usually at night. Sometimes she howls, in a lovely contralto voice, especially when the moon is full. <br/>Fanny will do well as an only dog, preferably in a rural environment where she can get plenty of exercise. She needs a loving home where she can feel safe and get some training.

The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society is a nonprofit (501c3) all volunteer organization (only 1 person paid to clean our shelter). Our primary mission is to improve the well being of animals (primarily dogs and cats) in the San Luis Valley (SLV). The San Luis Valley is the largest alpine valley in the world (roughly the size of Connecticut). It is also the poorest region of Colorado (1/3 of the residents in the county our shelter is in live below the poverty level. Our extensive spay/neuter program has reduced the number of homeless animals in this valley. And we have provided many many families with fine companion animals.
