Lynx, and her sister Mink, came in as shutdown dogs, so worried about life and had not been treated well. Building confidence in scared dogs is a process, and we're doing all we can to help Lynx realize humans can be really fun if you'll trust us enough to try! Leashwork, cratework and commands all underway, but it's really about having her forward for people ... we'll need a home with time and experience dealing with shy natures, those willing to help them face life not just protect them from it. Lynx is 6 mos old, and will be in the 70 lbs range full grown.
If Lynx isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
