Lisa and her brother, Bart, were only about 3 months old when they were found as abandoned strays. Both were suffering from malnutrition, loaded with worms and parasites and suffering from loss of fur. They were very apprehensive of people and spent their first few weeks here doing their best to avoid us. 

Among the two, Lisa has made the most progress in learning to make friends with people. She's even making progress on her leash and crate training. She will allow you to pick her up, but a slow, gentle and non-invasive behavior approach is best so as not to scare her. Lisa has even cuddled up to staff members and seems to want to make friends. Still, because of her very timid nature, an adopter who is experienced with timid dogs with a low-commotion environment and no young children would be best for her. Lisa would also benefit by having another dog, who is well socialized, sharing the home with her. 

Lisa has now received 3 of her first year "puppy" vaccines, been de-wormed at proper intervals and even started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She's also recently been spay. Lisa will require additional training, which she seems very smart and eager to learn new things, making the training much easier.
