Nutella the Sweetheart

Nutella is a little Sheltie female, that for some reason, thinks she can growl and show her pearly whites when she is afraid. Clearly, she has not been socialized, and she is terrified! Paul Pipitone, with Dogs’ Best Friend of Central Florida, will be evaluating her and giving me tips. Regardless, she will spend some relaxing down time here, and then she will be introduced to the pack at the Border Collie Boot Camp. Hopefully, she will make the choice to play and have fun, and shed her old ways. After a few days of not being harmed, the dogs usually figure out that when in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Her photos can be seen on Facebook!

More info on Nutella coming soon!

Update 01/25/10: Nutella is not afraid anymore. I guess there’s magic in our hot dogs! She has just had her first bath, and enjoys cuddeling in the towel! She is free in the house with the dogs, and fine with the family. She’s also enjoying playing with all of the dog toys!

Update 02/03/10: Nutella is a love muffin! She is energetic and loves to play ball. She jumps so high, I could see her becoming a great fly-ball dog. Nutella is great with other dogs, would probably do well with cats, and is good with children, however, she will need a few minutes to get used to a new owner. While she’s not trusting of strangers, she warms up quickly.

Special Thanks to Derm for being our photographer for the day!

Update: I can only adopt Nutella to someone local, who will take the time to get to know her and work on creating a smooth transition. Nutella is the only dog I have ever had that I can’t just let someone walk out with her. She needs time and patience, not to mention, I adore her! She sleeps with me every night!
