Story
Meet Ina - An Affectionate, Playful, Obedient Girl Looking for a Loving Home Ina is a 2-year-old Dutch Shepherd with a heart of gold. Ina is so smart, eager to please, and already trained! This sweet girl is house-trained, kennel-trained (but can be trusted outside of a kennel), does not jump on people or furniture (she LOVES her dog bed), and enjoys car rides. She does well with other dogs of all sizes (she is more submissive) and doesn't mind cats. Baths, nail trims, teeth brushing? Ina does well with those too! Ina's Story Ina was taken in by a sweet family after following them home while on a walk for three days in a row. Ina didn't have a microchip, and no owners were located despite an extensive search. The family that took her in named her Ina because they thought she looked like a hyena and now when people meet her, they can say, "Hi, Ina!". Ina is protective of her family but warms up quickly. She loves women and children but can take much longer to warm up to men. Her reaction is very fear-based, and it is believed that she may have been abused by a man at some point in her life. She has never snapped at or bitten anyone but will avoid and bark at men she doesn't know. Once you have won her affection, Ina is the most outgoing and friendly girl. Ina's Ideal Home Ina would love to be part of an active family or with another playful dog. If there are adult men in the home, it's important that they understand patience and are calm and kind with her until she learns to trust them. She does trust men she knows, so we know she can get there! Once she trusts them, her love is endless. She is healing from her past and we believe that, with time and the right environment, Ina will learn not to be afraid of meeting new men. January 3, 2025, 1:00 pm
