Babitha: The Unfolding Tale
Looking for the most amazing “Who Rescued Who” love story? If so, Babitha (aka “Babs”, “Babalicious”, “Babarooski”) is the girl for you! I am pleased to introduce Babs - our resident secret agent on a mission to find the coziest hiding spots in your home. This 1-2 year old cattle dog mix] may seem like a shy wallflower, but underneath that quiet exterior is a heart of gold, who would love to find her forever where she can come out of her undercover assignment.
Babs is the James (Jane?) Bond of the dog world, minus the high-speed car chases (though she does have a penchant for mad scrambles that get her nowhere on hard flooring). She has an extraordinary talent for blending into the background, especially when new people are around. But give her time, and you'll discover her soft, loving nature, especially when she thinks no one's watching. Babs is especially covert coming in for licks to your face and rolling on your body to get closer.
Likes:
· Her crate and a dog bed (perfect for observing the world in stealth and safety mode)
· Gentle head pats (once you've passed their secret handshake test)
· The sound of treat bags (which magically makes them appear out of thin air)
· Quiet days with their favorite human (she’s really into shows with low volume and minimal explosions, or even better, a book!)
Dislikes:
· Loud noises (like surprise sneezes, shouts or household appliances that are not yet familiar)
· Fast movements (she’s more of a "slow and steady wins the race" type)
· Strangers (she’s convinced they're all undercover vacuum salespeople)
Once an elusive shadow in a world too noisy and fast, Babs has been working on her transformation into a terrific and adoring side-kick. With a bit of patience and a lot of love, she has started to come out of her shell—one paw at a time. She may not be the life of the party, but she’s definitely the best at keeping secrets and sharing quiet moments. Food may have taken the place of companionship, so Babs is working on more human interaction and less time using food as a coping skill.
Babs is searching for a calm, patient individual / family who understands that not all heroes wear capes—some just need a little more time to feel safe. A peaceful environment with a cozy hideout (or two) would be perfect. They're best suited for a home without young children or overly energetic pets, as they prefer a drama-free lifestyle.
Think you have what it takes to crack the code to Babitha’s heart? Apply to adopt this undercover stealth specialist and enjoy the rewards of her quiet companionship and growing trust. Babs is currently being fostered in Aurora, CO.
