INTRODUCING ANGIE…a petite, 9 lb, brindle black and gray with a white paw and chest crest, 4-5 yr old (soft coated, non shedding) Terripoo, who was dumped in the shelter by her family because they were moving to Atlanta. I guess they don’t allow small dogs in Atlanta? Angie was scared to death in the shelter and did not show well. We had to go slowly with her because after being abandoned, she had no idea where she was or why and felt she needed to protect herself. Two days after arriving, she let us love and kiss on her and now trusts us 150%. She gets uber excited when we come home, or take her for a walk or dinnertime! She is very affectionate and give lots of kisses! That being said, we adopted her to a family with rambunctious children and she did not connect with them. She is still a bit fearful with new situations so she needs time and patience.

Angie is now playing with toys!! Throwing them up and down and amusing herself!! While she’s good with other dogs and will play with some, she really wants all the attention to herself and especially doesn’t like to share belly rubs! Could easily be an only dog as long as she isn’t left alone many hours.

New revelations: Angie has found her voice and uses it when she hears different sounds…especially on walks when she sees other dogs! She seems more protective when men approach and will bark like an attack dog, but she will be kissing their hand in 2 minutes! Seems potty trained with outside access, but we never guarantee! Loves her walks and wants a minimum of 2-3 a day!! Angie would be a wonderful companion to a family likely without kids (or we would have to meet them and see her with them). She definitely wants to be loved and cuddled and is definitely a snuggler. Patience, time and love will bring great rewards from Angie.
