ADOPTION PENDING
Hi, my name is Cherry! I am a sweet girl in need of a special, patient home.

You see, I came from a situation where I wasn’t socialized with humans so I have trust issues. I have bonded with my foster mom, it took about a week and a half for me to allow her to touch me willingly. I’m still quite timid around my foster dad and steer clear of him as much as I can, I won’t even eat if he’s in the room. I require a home without children under 5 and pawrents who understand that I will need space and lots of time to get comfortable and that I may never fully trust humans.

I’m great with cats and really adore dogs. I MUST have another dog in my furever home as they help immensely with my confidence. I am about 80% housetrained, I still have accidents. I sleep quietly in a crate at night beside my foster mom’s bed, but I do have separation anxiety if I’m in a kennel when you leave the house, the kennel tends not to be where you left it, but I’m still inside!

I will need a secure fenced yard as I am a potential flight risk when there are loud noises, and would be very difficult to catch if I got free.

My foster mom has attempted to take me on a walk, but I don’t enjoy it, in fact, I barely move, but she’ll keep trying! When I’m outside I need a secure harness or martingale collar so that I can’t slip out of it. So far I am very content to be a house dog relaxing on the couch, or running around with my foster siblings.

I have fun puppy energy, and really enjoy playing tug-o-war, chewing on bones, and throwing around stuffies. I also have been known to steal a shoe or two… 

If you’re ready for a challenge, and have the patience to give me time to get to know you, then I am ready to meet you, sorta… At the very least, I’ll let my foster mama put me in your lap.

I am being fostered in Steinbach, but you know what they say, it’s worth the trip.
