Please read my FULL bio before applying!
Delia is a very special girl looking for a very special home. Delia came into our care as a shy, shut down girl who had clearly never known the love of people before. She has been working with the behavior team at HIHS to learn to enjoy the company of people, and has made tremendous progress. She will however need a person or family that is committed to continued positive, force-free training and that will show her lots and lots of patience.
Delia's future home must include:
-A social, friendly dog that will show her the ropes and help her settle in, but most importantly a dog that loves to play!
-An adult only home
-A securely fenced in yard
-A family that will keep Delia indoors, and will not leave her outside unattended, in a kennel or on a tie out.
Delia may not ever be the dog who will join you on a trip for a trip into town for lunch, but with the right family willing to put in the work, the possibilities for Delia's life are endless! As Delia gets to know her person, she loves to show off her skills such as sit and target, and will happily play with any dog she meets. She would enjoy a family willing to do brain puzzles and games with her as well.
**If approved to take Delia home, Delia's new family will need to be ready to commit to several trips to the shelter to get to know Delia before she is ready to go home.
