Sanctuary Update: Miss Kitty is spending time with us at the sanctuary in Willits while she waits for a family. She truly is lovely in so many ways, but she does have difficulty with nipping out of fear when touched in a way that makes her feel scared or restrained, and it can be difficult at times to determine what level of handling will make her feel that way. This would explain the difficulties she had with children that are mentioned in her original bio below. Miss Kitty would do best in a quiet and adult home with someone who would be patient with her while helping her to let down her guard and realize that you are not going to hurt her. There is a BB pellet under her skin, so she has clearly had a hard time in her past, and may not have been handled consistently and kindly during socialization as a pup, but we have definitely seen her confidence grow with us and we are very proud of her! She LOVES toys and playing fetch and is never outwardly aggressive towards anyone she meets, but she would not want for them to try to pick her up etc right away. Even for those that know and love her, scooping her up still has to be done in a certain way in order to not scare her. In an adult, loving and predictable home we feel that she will continue to blossom and that her confidence with handling will grow, but it will take patience and understanding that she may get snappy if spooked. She is a very cute little girl and we know the right home for her is out there! Original Bio: Our sweet female Chi mix is coming back to Milo due to difficulties with the children in her previous home. Because of her experience there, we've learned that Miss Kitty is not best suited to a home with kids. However, she gets along well with cats and dogs as long as she is corrected when she plays too rough (needs reminders about boundaries). Outside of her quirks, Miss Kitty is a great little dog. She walks well on a leash, is crate-trained and housebroken, and loves to play fThis is the Animal Description Footer
