Abandoned in Nanton and brought in through RCMP, Ladybird is in the 2 year old range, a Doberman X we believe. She was an absolute wreck of a dog on intake ... fearful, barky, afraid to go outside (!), afraid to be approached. Everything about her said "keep away" (you can see even in the photos how unsure she is of someone new, our photographer). The beautiful thing about Ladybird is when she trusts, she trusts all the way. She has completely bonded with all of us ... it took 4 weeks. Ladybird will be a project dog, and the people we're looking for are patient, experienced, non-complacent and willing to look at adopting a dog where what you can do for her is bigger than what she can initially give. Given how she is with all of us, it'll be worth the effort.
