Adopted!
Meet Buffy! Buffy is a Canaan Dog, who wants nothing more than to please her newly found owners and settle in at the forever home she so greatly deserves. Sadly, Buffy was born in a shelter in Afghanistan, and has lived nearly her entire 2 years of life at that shelter. Until a couple months ago, when she and some others came to the USA destined to be placed in a loving home. One can only imagine what these animals have been through. After going through the mandatory quarantine, Buffy went to her foster home and had been there for about a month. While they would like to keep her, their other animals, three kids, and careers simply cannot afford Buffy the time she so desperate needs and deserves. She’s proven to be good with other dogs, and has tolerated an aggressive cat, as well as a kitten, both seemingly well. She’s actually taken to be protective of the kitten, making sure she doesn’t get pushed around too much by her older brother. Buffy is a sweet dog, and wants nothing other than to get attention, and please. Being a shelter dog for her entire life, one can appreciate the fact that she’s had little to no basic obedience training. In many ways, she’s living as a puppy in an adult dog’s body. She’s proven to be extremely intelligent, though, and there is no question she will be extremely well behaved; time and effort are really what she needs. She walks great on a leash, is potty trained to the majority (still has the occasional accident inside at night, but constantly shows signs of improvement with this), and is crated when her foster parents aren’t home. She likes to get into things if left out and unattended, but we also believe that will improve over time.
