Meet Malia. She is a gorgeous 9 months old girl and currently weighs about 56 pounds. She was surrendered by a breeder to a mixed breed rescue, who turned her over to us, along with her sister Millie. They arrived super scared, after having been uprooted. They are very healthy. We know they like to play together once relaxed and comfortable. But they went into a shell at our vet boarding. We decided to rehome them separately. We think being on their own, along with a new resident dog pal, will speed up their confidence building and development. Millie went to a foster home and has already started to blossom. Malia just went to a foster home and should soon be as happy as her sister.  A resident dog is a necessity. A yard will be a desired attribute. Patience, and a willingness to do some basic training, will benefit her.
