Adoptable Animal of the Week: Momma

• Name: Momma
  
• Case Number: 20041522
• Breed: Welsh Corgi/Shiba Inu

My name is Momma and I am a sweet, loving little damsel! I love just about everyone I meet.

I am very scared and unsettled in the shelter environment, but making a connection with a human has really helped. My true self will likely bloom once in my forever home.

I absolutely love toys, almost to an obsession, and need to learn how to give them up more easily. I even know how to fetch and love a brisk game of tug. I'm comfortable with all types of handling and, though I don't love having to give up my food, I will if I have to.

I get a little scared of unusual new things and people, and I may bark at them to keep them at bay. I also may chase after them when they turn their backs. I look to my human companion for direction.

My adopters should seek a certified professional trainer who can help me accept new experiences that concern me so that I can get more comfortable with them.

When I was evaluated, my interest in children was inconclusive. I should be introduced to all family members so that I can get to know them before I join the family.

I am very playful with other dogs, am very respectful of them and will enjoy their company immensely. I am proud to say that I walk very nicely on the leash. Training may help build my confidence and will help us forge a relationship.
