SPOTLIGHT: SHEBA!

A New Lease on Life!

Miss Sheba has a new lease on life considering that several weeks ago she almost died after a huge fall from a first floor balcony of a previous adopter’s home!

Background on Sheba:
She came to the US a few months ago from Kuwait and was an owner surrender. Sheba is partially blind. She seems to be able to see pretty well in broad daylight. In June, she was adopted but the unfortunate accident occurred three days after her adoption. It almost cost her life! Sheba pulled through with the help of caring fosters and medical care. She is now undergoing hydrotherapy rehab and is walking very well!

Want a dog who loves car rides and rides well? Sheba is your gal! Sheba went from DC to Maine over July 4 weekend! Want a dog who loves to walk and go on hikes? Sheba is your gal! She gets so excited when she sees her leash and harness!

Sheba is housebroken and crate trained. She needs a little coaxing and bribing when crating but she does go in it. She may bark for 2-3 minutes and that’s it. She loves her humans and wants to be with them all the time so the safest place for her when you aren’t home or in the room with her is in the crate. She doesn’t try to escape the crate. Or if you have a room that she can hangout in with no steps and no open windows, etc, that might work too. She will jump barriers to try to get to her humans so if you are going to shower, we suggest leaving her in her crate. She doesn’t try to escape her crate.

Sheba can sit and stand on command. She loves doing the Sit/stand exercises! Sheba loves all kinds of humans, big and little ones! One of her fosters had a 1 and 5 y/o and she did fine with them. Sheba loves going to cafes and the farmer’s market too! She’ll lay down nicely while you eat and enjoy your coffee! Currently, Sheba lives with 5 other dogs with her foster family. She doesn’t really play with the dogs but does coexist with them. Sheba is about 50 lbs and 2 y/o. She is on the thin side so we are trying to help her put on weight. She is on digestive enzymes plus a carbo load diet with each meal because of this!

If you are interested in adopting Sheba, her adoption fee is $350. And there will be a thorough home visit, rigorous interview, and reference checks.
