Very shy at first, but give her time and she is loving! She really takes awhile to warm up and then she is sweet and snuggly! Would be best as an only dog with someone who can be with her long periods of time. She was sadly, cruelly abandoned in some townhomes and neighboring folks took care of her but left outside. Working on house training as she goes out frequently and uses dog door, but accidents, especially in new environment are to be expected She is a cuddler and love her person. Shes worth it!
