Description:
Meet Sheba! Sheba is a sweet little Beagle mix with the cutest white-and-tan spotted coat. But her story is about so much more than her adorable looks. Sheba has spent just over a full year in the shelter. When she first arrived, she was incredibly scared and completely shut down. Thankfully, the amazing volunteers never gave up on her. With their patience, kindness, and love, Sheba has blossomed into the sweet girl we see today. While she still has more confidence to build, she's doing great compared to where she started! She is now in a foster home, where she’s learning all about indoor life and discovering how wonderful being a beloved family dog can be. She is house and crate trained! She is a smart girl who learns quickly. Sheba is shy at first, but she warms up quickly once she realizes she’s safe. She is wonderful with other dogs. She doesn't bother smaller dogs who don't want to play, but would love to play with another dog who wants to! As she gets comfortable, her more puppy playful size is coming out. She loves zoomies in the yard and chewing on toys! She is about 2 years old now and weighs 27 pounds, but she is still skinny. Her foster is working on getting her to a heathy weight of closer to 30-35 pounds. She loves food and treats and takes them nicely. She does okay on leash and loves going for walks, but louder noises and new enviroments are scary for her still. A fenced yard will probably be best to keep her safe while she still gains more confidence. She is fine with kids, but would do best with ones who can understand that she needs patience and time to warm up. She met a few cats on a walk and was scared of them, so she should be fine warming up to dog friendly kitties.Sheba will need a patient family who will give her time and space to let her true personality shine. After everything Sheba has been through, she deserves a family who will continue to show her that she is safe, loved, and finally home.
