This little lady was found with her friend in Western MA abandoned by their hunters. She is around a year old and sweet but nervous. She is still on flight mode and will need a place to decompress. She is still with Animal Control until we can find a foster or foster to adopt home for her. She has no adoption fee for the right home, they will just need some patience :)
She walks nicely on a leash but is not the type of dog that can ever be off leash. This breed is very "flighty" so they cannot be off leash or in a position where they could escape the home. If you have a door cracked open or a spot in a fenced yard they could squeeze through, they will find it! They will not return back to you if they are loose, they're off! So, a home that understands that and is OK with that, is a must. She is awesome with cats, dogs and kids. She will make an awesome family member with just a little more training :)
