My Name Is *BANANA BREAD!

Banana Bread is a 1.5-year-old girl who came into the shelter as a stray, and it’s clear that the shelter environment can feel like a lot for this sweet, sensitive pup.

When I first took her out, Banana Bread was nervous and unsure. Her tail was tucked, and she was a little uncomfortable having a person too close. Rather than seeking out human attention, she preferred to explore the shelter grounds and investigate the play yard around her.

But with a little time, patience, and reassurance, Banana Bread began to show her softer side. Once she felt comfortable, she came over on her own for pets and reassurance. Her tail slowly untucked, and before long, this once-nervous girl was bursting into zoomies and racing happily around the play yard!

Banana Bread is a really sweet girl who simply needs to feel safe before she can truly let her personality shine. Right now, she is experiencing not only some fear, but also stress and anxiety in her shelter kennel. She needs someone who will understand that trust takes time and will never rush her.

Her ideal person will be patient, gentle, and willing to let Banana Bread come to them at her own pace. With love, reassurance, stability, and security, we believe there is a joyful, affectionate dog waiting to blossom.

My Special Considerations

Banana Bread is not adapting well to being in a kennel at the shelter and is displaying signs of kennel distress and anxiety. Banana Bread is jumping, demand barking, whining and panting while in the suite. This dog is working with our training team daily on leash skills, basic obedience, and good manners. She is also a current playgroup candidate and loves to play chase and wrestle with other dogs. This animal would benefit from a calmer environment and training to be able to cope with changing environments and separation.
