Text PAULA to 864-441-9075 for an application. Here's Your Quick Peek:
Paula is a young Maltese who is very shy, nervous, and still learning to trust people. She can be quick to run and evade handling, and because of her fear and uncertainty, she may react by growling if approached too fast or picked up without patience and care. There is not a mean or aggressive bone in Paula's body - she is simply a scared girl figuring out this new human world she's been thrown into.
Must have: Another dog and an experienced, patient adopter. Ideally, Paula will be placed with a family that has rehabilitated a puppy mill or breeder surrender dog in the past.
Exercise: Low, but part of this is her shyness.
Best with: Dogs. Paula really knows nothing about us humans and is still pretty skeptical.
Not ideal for: Busy homes, inexperienced rescuers, or homes looking for an immediate pet. Paula is a project.
Energy level: Low, but it's hard to know. Paula is so timid.
Paula needs a quiet, calm, and predictable home with experienced dog owners who understand fearful dogs and will move at her pace. A confident, friendly dog companion will also be important to help her feel more secure as she continues to build confidence in the world.
Good with dogs: Yes, she needs them.
Good with kids: Absolutely no - they are even scarier than adults to Paula. Too much fast movement.
Cats: Unknown - she's never lived with them.
