DIAMOND IN THE RUFF: Meredith has lived through more than any dog should. Originally rescued from the meat trade in Korea, she made her way to the U.S. and was adopted into a loving home where, for the first time, she felt safe. Tragically, her person passed away, and Meredith is now searching for a second chance at a quiet, gentle life. Right now, Meredith is scared - truly scared. New people overwhelm her, and she will squeal if approached too quickly. But please don't mistake her fear for aggression - it's simply her way of protecting herself after so much loss and trauma. What brings Meredith comfort? Other dogs. She absolutely adores canine companions and finds safety in their presence. For that reason, her ideal home includes at least one other calm, friendly dog who can help her feel secure and show her the ropes. If you are patient and give her the time and space she needs to come around (this won't happen overnight), you'll start to see the real Meredith. She's sweet, affectionate, and seeks out pets and scratches - right up until she's had her fill and toddles back to her bed for some quiet time. She's not needy; she just wants to be near someone kind. Meredith gives her people the sweetest little kisses; its her way of saying "love ya"! We know Meredith isn't for everyone. She needs someone special - someone who won't expect instant trust, but who sees the beauty in earning it over time. If you're that person, and you have a peaceful home and a loving dog friend waiting, Meredith just might be the missing piece in your heart. MEREDITH'S NEEDS: * Adult Only Home * Calm and Stable Environment * Another Dog to help build her confidence *
