Ethel came in with over forty other dogs from a rough hoarding situation in West Virginia, so she's had a hard start and it shows. She’s still pretty wary of people, but the steady care from staff and volunteers at Angels of Assisi is making a difference—she now enjoys walks with her trusted humans, especially with her favorite canine friends around. Ethel is still quite skittish about being touched and needs a calm, patient adopter willing to take things slow. She requires multiple meet-and-greets, so both you and Ethel can see if it feels like the right fit. Ethel will do best in a quiet home without children or cats so she can settle in at her own pace. She’s made real progress already, and with time, patience, and understanding, Ethel has a lot to offer. Her adoption is sponsored, so qualified adopters won’t pay an adoption fee.
