Twill Twilla came to us very underweight and timid. After one day she came out of her shell and showed us how thankful and loving she is. She loves to cuddle and sleep under the covers. After a couple of minutes under the covers she will poke her head out and keep the rest of her body under the covers like a human. So she prefers to sleep with her humans and not in a crate. She gets very anxious in her crate and wants out immediately. I think she would do best living with someone who would not need to crate her unless its a very short period of time. We leave her out of the crate while we are away, and she hasnt chewed anything up while we are gone. She loves treats, bones, blankets, and squeaky toys. She shows her timid side when in the crate, car, and walks outside. She is great around children and other dogs. She knows how to use a doggy door but needs little reminders to go outside. Twill Twilla is ready to find her furever home.
