Meet Debbie Debbie came to us in the Spring of 2021 when she was found in a home with seven other dogs after their owner had passed away. Debbie was a very scared and very shy little girl due to her sensitive nature and unknown history. At first, she preferred the company of the resident dogs over people; she was even a bit standoffish. This wasn’t all that unusual, and in our experience, she would eventually become the sweet little Debbie she was meant to be. Unfortunately, as far as dogs go, Debbie can be a bit of a downer. You see, she just doesn’t like the things dogs normally do. No snuggles and no walkies for her, eww! If we can catch her, she will tolerate the injustice of the holdies as long as we are petting her. Once we are done, she scampers away to her safe place. Due to her determination to avoid us, potty training has been a challenge, to say the least. It’s not all doom and gloom all the time! Debbie has overcome some of her fears such as taking an offered treat, thank goodness because she requires daily thyroid medication, and has even sniffed our outstretched hand, but no touchy touchy for Debbie! When she is not busy avoiding us, she loves laying in the afternoon sun on a soft fluffy dog bed and dreaming about chasing bunnies. She has also been known to snuggle the resident dogs from time to time. She also loves being outside and sniffing all the things the backyard has to offer. In the time we’ve had her, Debbie has tried to stay positive, but she just can’t turn that frown upside down. Her social limitations, inability to be fully potty trained and other health issues have led us to the decision to make Debbie a Sanctuary Sweetheart. Your donations will help her last years be her best years by allowing her to live safely and comfortably with the company she prefers and sometimes the people, but only if they pet her, but not too much because “eww.” If you would like to help in Freddie's care, please go to: http://www. |
