Description:

Are you swooning over those fluffy bunny ears? Meet Autumn, an amazingly adorable Golden Retriever & Shepherd mix looking for her forever home in the Pacific Northwest! Autumn is currently being fostered in Houston but will be making her way up to the Greater Seattle area in mid-August, and she would love to find a dedicated foster or forever home! To fill out an application, please apply at www.doggedly.org/adoption-app to begin the process. Autumn is a very special girl. She is a quiet, gentle dog with the sweetest, friendliest demeanor. She first came to Doggedly as a stray that ended up at a shelter in Katy, Texas. She was running the streets, frightened and completely broken down. It's almost as if Autumn was confined to someone's backyard as a puppy with little interaction until she was released into the streets to fend for herself. Autumn was so shy and broken down that she cowered in a corner, afraid to make eye contact. Thanks to a wonderful volunteer, Autumn got her second chance. Her gentle demeanor and sweet disposition won over the shelter staff, and Autumn landed herself a foster home to help her prepare for adoption. This girl is so beautiful, and we couldn't let her die of euthanasia at the shelter simply for being scared. Shy dogs are often overlooked in shelters, with thousands of highly adoptable pets being euthanized in kill shelters across the South every month due to overcrowding. Although Autumn is shy, there isn't a mean bone in her body. She will allow you to groom her, clean her ears, clip her nails, and handle her with zero aggression. We have not even heard as much as a growl from this dog. When Autumn is overwhelmed, she will bury her nose in the corner under a blanket with her favorite stuffy toy for comfort. She is quiet as a mouse and is also impeccably kennel-trained and potty-trained. Autumn is a very well-mannered house guest, ready to find the perfect family to help her bloom into the best dog ever! Autumn is exceptionally friendly with other animals. She loves dogs and is cat friendly. She relies heavily on social cues from other dogs and requires a confident, friendly dog buddy in the home to be her companion. Autumn bonds with other dogs quickly but also loves human affection once you have earned her trust. Autumn's shyness with people melts away over time, especially once she sees how much the other dogs in the home love their people. Autumn is very polite and is great on a leash. She mainly sticks to your side and will follow you during walks until she is comfortable. Autumn is the perfect dog and an all-around extremely sweet girl. Her confidence has grown in leaps and bounds in her foster home, and we cannot wait to see how she will blossom in the right home with plenty of love and positive interaction. Autumn's ideal home would be a laid-back, cuddly family environment that would move slowly, allowing her to get used to her new surroundings, offering plenty of toys, treats, love, and patience as she acclimates. Autumn tends to be an escape artist at first, so a securely fenced yard and walks with both a leash and harness during the first weeks home is essential. Autumn has such a gentle nature. She is a very easygoing dog and loves to be in the company of other dogs. Autumn loves toys and loves to chew, but she is never possessive about anything and will share her food, toys, treats, and other resources with anyone. Autumn has been in a home with older kids and thrived. She is a goofy, laid-back girl most of the time unless puppies are in the mix! Autumn lights up around puppies and transforms into a rambunctious, playful dog who wants to run and wrestle. It's been amazing to watch her transformation during her short time with the rescue, but she is now ready to find her forever family. Autumn is really special and deserves to become a beloved family member! Autumn is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. All she needs is you to complete her fairy tale ending!
