Buffy

"Hi everyone, my name is Buffy. My story is not the most happy. A lady from SOCKS came to pick me up at the place I was living. I heard people say this was a breeder. All I know is I was very scared of everything, and I didn’t feel like I was loved. This lady took me to a doctor and told me I would not have to worry about having puppies ever again. I was really glad to hear that. I did not like being a mom, and from what I have heard, that is why the breeder did not want me anymore. So, I have been spending the last few months trying to learn how to live in a home with people. This has been really hard for me because I had not ever lived in a home and been treated like a member of a family. I decided it was easier for me to hide and just come out for food. I wanted to just dig a hole and stay away from people. But the people were not going to let me do that. They said that once I learned to be around people, I would decide I liked them. I wasn’t so sure about that. But believe it or not, I think maybe they could be right. I have learned to let people pet me and brush me. I like laying on the couch and have even snuggled with my foster mom. I have met lots of people who always tell me I am very beautiful and sweet. I just need to learn how to trust these people. But I think I will in time." Buffy will need a person who has the time and patience to allow her the time to learn to trust. She will need a securely fenced yard.
