Sheila (in Foster)
Dogs – Let's meet!
Cats – TBD
Kids – Yes
Sheila has quietly won over just about everyone here, staff and volunteers alike. She bonds closely with people, and once that bond forms, her favorite place is wherever you happen to be. She soaks up affection and takes keeping tabs on her family seriously too.
Her tastes are wonderfully simple. Treats will earn her friendship in record time, and a Bene Bone or a favorite stuffed toy will keep her happily occupied. When the weather turns cold, she'll even sport a cozy sweater.
A calm setting with a gentle pace would suit Sheila best. Crowded, busy places aren't really her scene, and she'd much rather spend her days close to her people. Don't worry, she'll still let you know when someone's at the door.
If a loyal girl with a cozy sweater collection sounds like your speed, Sheila just might be your match!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
