"Cindy is a very different dog from a few weeks ago... She can still be very skittish and fearful around some people, dogs and new situations but bounces back more quickly. For every two steps forward, there's often one back, but she continues to progress and is a great little dog. Her coat is coming in nicely (non-shedding!) and she's quiet and very well-behaved around the house. She will alert you to strangers but doesn't bark unnecessarily. She loves going for walks and car rides and is very curious. She really likes kids (they get all the kisses) but very young children and too much activity might overwhelm her. She is doing so much better with her foster brother, but he's learned to leave her alone so she doesn't growl at him. She has shown a playful side to some dogs as long as they aren't too rambunctious or aggressive, so another calm dog might work for her.

Cindy does bond strongly to her family and has some separation anxiety so a patient family will need to work with her to desensitize her when she's left alone. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night but doesn't like being left in there for any length of time if nobody is home. Someone who works from home or is home most of the time would be great for her. Cindy is very smart and eager to please, but a loving family who understands and can work with her to overcome her fears would be the perfect match for this great little girl!"
