Ida Red

-She’s a sweet, sensitive girl who just needs a little time to feel comfortable in new situations. The barking dogs and busy hallway made her a little unsure at first, and the outside traffic was more than she was ready for. Once we got somewhere quieter, though, she started showing me her softer side. I sat on the floor and she came right over for pets, going back and forth between the door and me for more attention. She clearly wanted to be close, often pressing herself against me for affection. She even snuck in a couple of kisses!-It took her a little while to feel comfortable enough to accept treats, but once she warmed up, she happily started taking them. She doesn’t seem to know sit just yet but takes snacks gently. I also managed to get her interested in a stuffie, and she had a little fun tossing it around the room. It was brief, but seeing her playful side peek through was so sweet!-She remained a little cautious throughout our time together, but her stress noticeably decreased as she became more comfortable. She may need a patient home willing to give her time to decompress and build confidence, but I suspect there’s a much more relaxed, happy girl waiting to come out once she’s in a quieter, more predictable environment. She has already shown that she wants connection and affection; she just needs the chance to feel safe enough to enjoy it.
