Sheba is a female, shepherd mix who came to the shelter as a stray and is anxious to find her new forever home. Although she very curious of her surroundings, she is aware of her human friends and does enjoy affection on her own terms. This 7 year old is more on the independent side but enjoys attention. Even though we love to smother her with kisses and pets, she does not like to be restrained or handled, especially with her back feet. Once she's warmed up a bit, she reacts better with minimal handling but we do not encourage her new family to force the handling issue. It is believed that with time and patience she’ll come around and be able to trust her adopters. She has made improvements while at the shelter and has attended obedience classes where she did great.
