Darling

Updated on Friday, 11/14/2008

Currently not available!

My foster father rescued me from the Warren County Animal Shelter. I really don't remember much about my life before I moved in with my foster parents. I do remember that I was a stray for close to a month before I decided life on my own was not such a good deal and agreed to let the animal control officer catch me. I really love my foster home. There are always things going on and I like to play with the other dogs and even sometimes with "Mr. Chubbs" who I think is a cat. Sometimes I chase him because I want to play but I'll never hurt him. My foster dad says I'm real smart because I learn things quickly. He also says I show a quiet self confidence and can dominate the other dogs without any need to fight or cause conflict. I enjoy people but really like children. I have lots of fun at the adoption events with all the people petting me and saying I'm a pretty girl. I've really bonded with my foster parents and wish I could live with them but that would mean they can't help other dogs like me. I had a tough time while out on my own and had some terrible experiences I don't want to talk about. I get very upset when people yell and I don't like seeing raised hands or anyone swinging a stick. It just scares me but I deal with it as best I can. I was pretty sick (lyme disease, ehrlichia, anaplas and babesiosis - all tick borne diseases as well as hepatitis) when first rescued but I'm receiving great medical care and expect to get a clear bill of health by December 1. Anyone considering adopting me must understand that 1) while these diseases are in remission there is a possibility (unlikely however) that they could recur which would require a new series of treatments and 2) any such treatments could be quite expensive. Oh by the way, my foster parents insist that I go to a special home where I can get the love and attention they say I deserve.They will not let me go to a home where everyone is gone during the day. I'm OK being home alone but it upsets me because I'm afraid my family might not come back. They also want me to go to a home with at least one other dog and hopefully children as well. Before I forget my name shows as Darling but I prefer to be called Annie. GPCVA
