About Suzie

Suzie is a remarkable dog in search of a loving home. This sweet girl has faced challenges early in life, leading to her being classified as having special needs. At just 1.5 years old, her past left her unsocialized and fearful of new people and experiences, though she shows no signs of aggression. Instead of lashing out when frightened, her instinct is to flee or hide. Suzie has developed a bond with her foster mom and has even tolerated the presence of teenage kids and another dog. She adores the company of other dogs and enjoys being around cats. While she's still learning about the world, Suzie has made encouraging progress since she was rescued. Given her past, Suzie needs a unique home that meets specific requirements: a securely fenced yard, a family with no children younger than 10 (respectful minors are welcome), and an experienced adopter who will patiently guide her on her journey to socialization. Ideally, she should live with at least one other dog. Suzie is now ready to move forward, and her sweet personality shines through. Ready to give her the home she deserves?
