Adopt a Dutch Shepherd / Mountain Dog / Mixed

Meet Sweet Angie
Angie, spayed female, 3 years, 42 Lbs.

Hi, my name is Angie. Thank you for reading my story.
Well, at first, I wasn’t on the list to be rescued out of the street. Some rescuers found my baby whining in a bush when I was out looking for food to nurse him. That was a long day for me…. because after I came back to my baby, he was gone. I went crazy and tried so hard to look for him days after days. He was too young and still in nursing. I worried so much that some other strays might hurt him ‘cause they always came checking on us from time to time trying to bully us. If I wasn’t too hungry that day, I wouldn’t have had left him in the bush. I was in great sorrow!

Few days later, the rescuers showed up again. They immediately found me and took me away. Though I didn’t know where I would be taken to, there was no reason for me to stay there after my baby was gone anyway. Without any hesitation, I decided to follow them. Very soon, I was taken to an animal hospital. A nice nurse bathed me well. A vet gave me all necessary physical checkups and took me to a kennel. With great surprise, I spotted my baby in the kennel whining for milk. I was thrilled and so grateful these people came back for me. Few weeks later after my baby needing no more nursing, we were transferred to different foster homes. Though we couldn’t be together, I didn’t worry much this time because I knew he would be in great care as I would.

To help me being more socialized, I stay with auntie Jessamy for basic obedience training and fostering. At first I was not quite comfortable being with other foster dogs. My bad memory kept reminding me those rough days on street to be bullied by other strays. So I cautiously kept a distance from other dogs. My foster mommy is truly very kind. She encouraged me to make friends with other foster dogs and in fact, they were all very friendly to welcome me joining in. Every day I get to walk out meeting many people and dogs. I finally feel so much relieved and become more and more confident every day. I truly like to be with people. Since the day I was rescued, every human being I met was so nice to me. With dogs. I have totally got over my fear of meeting them. I maybe a little shy to meet a new dog or some strangers coming toward me initially, but very soon, I am able to make friends for nice pets. If I don’t feel quite interested joining a play. I’ll simply walk away or stay quietly without bothering anyone.

I really enjoy staying out in a patio or a big park, the breeze and green smell always make me very relaxed and happy. I am a well behaved, mellow and affectionate doggie with a clean bill of health. Now it’s time for me to find my own home. If you’d like to have a calm, sweet, cuddly and quiet doggie at home that also enjoys outdoor activities, you might want to consider me as the best friend. My name is Angie. I am a well behaved good doggie. Please visit www.ahan.org to view more “Angie’s” videos, click “APPLY” to fill out online application. Thank you again for reading my story!
