Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to say hi and thank you to everyone for this site. It is a great tool and I have found so much useful information on here.
I adopted Snickers back in August from a coworker who gave her up. Snickers doesn't like children, and spent most of her time in the bedroom or locked up in her crate.
My baby's history is not 100% known. I know she is ACA registered, and has been with two separate breeders (the first retired). She did have a litter with the second breeder, but they were premature and did not survive. The breeder did say that it affected her very much, and she spent several weeks looking for her babies. The breeder had her spayed after that. Shortly after, my coworker adopted her. I'm unsure of her age. The paper states she was born the later part of 2006, but the breeder's website states early 2006. One of the breeders must have had her debarked
because her bark is very mute. It is getting stronger though.
I have a gut feeling that she was abused too early on in her life. She absolutely hates other animals and is very scared if she isn't in my house. Even when I walk her, she gets scared of the birds, leaves blowing in the wind, people walking by, etc.
Sometimes I look at her and I start to cry thinking about everything she's been through. She is so sweet and Innocent. I don't know why anyone would have hurt her.
Thanks for listening
Amber
