INTRODUCING ANGIE…a petite, 9 lb (underweight), 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 especially slow with her because after being abandoned, she had no idea where she was or why and she 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 to see us when we come home, or take her for a walk or dinnertime! She is very affectionate and loves to give lots and lots of kisses!

Angie is now playing with toys!! Throwing them up and down and amusing herself!! She IS the dog we knew she could be!! While she is 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 (her fav) so she could easily be an only dog as long as she isn’t left alone many hours.

New revelations: Angie has found her voice and when she hears different sounds…she uses it especially on a walk when she sees other dogs! It seems that she is more protective when men approach, and she will bark like an attack dog…but she will be kissing their hand in about 5 minutes! She is a good eater, and she seems to be potty trained with outside access, but we never guarantee! She loves her walks and would like to take a minimum of 2-3 a day!!

Angie would be a wonderful companion to a family with or without (kids 8+) She definitely wants to be loved and cuddled and is definitely a snuggler. Just some patience, time and love will bring forward great rewards from Angie…we love her! She’s waiting!
