Meet our golden/Shepherd/Labrador mix breed girl ... in fact we don't know what the mix is at all! We overwhelming believe she looks like a white collie. She's just a mix of a lot of things... and a ton of cute! Something important to note is that Sherry can only be fed hypoallergenic food or she will get sick :(

Yep, I'm a good girl, but boy am I nervous. Everyone wants to comfort me but I'm just so shy. Out of the shelter environment I'd be more comfortable, but you may as well know it up front ... I'm a neglected dog that hasn't had any training and I lack a lot of confidence. I need someone who is patient and knows that good things come to those who wait. Let me come to you, it's nothing personal, I just need to build up trust with people. Please don't think of putting me in a cage for 10 hours a day because that just won't work - not for you or for me. And, please don't think of chaining me up to live outside for my lifetime because that kind of life is not in my plans. Keep in mind, I want to be a social animal like all the other dogs- and that would lead to a very lonely existence! So let's find some balls, figure out a walking route, check out a few dog parks, and begin our journey together. A life of love, friendship, and trust! My "thanks" to Olivia Mandala ... she's one terrific photographer! She made me look just as cute as I am in person :)!
