About Equate

Equate is a lovely, shy girl who may seem a bit reserved at first. However, when a volunteer sat beside her on a dog bed, she slowly warmed up and shared a sweet little kiss. In our doggie playgroup, Equate has shown that she can be dog friendly and is gradually learning to come out of her shell. She's still figuring out what it means to be cared for, and things like baths can be a bit scary for her. With a patient owner, she'll return the love and devotion tenfold. When she first arrived at the shelter, Equate was terrified and wanted to escape, but she's making progress toward feeling comfortable in her surroundings. Can you help her discover the true meaning of love and safety? Come meet this sweet girl at the shelter today!
