About SUGAR FOOT

Meet Sugar Foot ���� Sugar Foot's life hasn't been easy. Found as a stray running loose in a park - wearing a tangled wire collar and a heavy leather one so tight it was difficult to remove - this young dog arrived underweight, frightened, and unsure of the world. Despite everything, Sugar Foot is trying her hardest to trust again. Behind the fear and anxious energy is a dog who desperately wants to connect. With people she learns to trust, she becomes a social butterfly - leaning in for affection, pawing for more, and even wiggling with joy. But the shelter is overwhelming for Sugar Foot, and the stress of this environment is making it hard for her to show who she truly is. Sugar Foot is looking for a New Hope rescue partner who can place her in a calm, experienced, adult-only home where she can finally decompress and start to feel safe. ��%90%BE Key Points to Help Sugar Foot Get Adopted: Highly social with familiar people: Once she feels safe, Sugar Foot becomes affectionate, wiggly, and eager for attention. Fearful but not broken: Sugar Foot shows stranger danger but warms up with patience, treats, and a slow approach. She is not aggressive - she is scared. Shows playful and loving behavior: She paws for attention, leans in for petting, and explores curiously when she's comfortable. Shelter environment is too much: The high stimulation is overwhelming Sugar Foot, increasing her arousal and on-leash reactivity, but these behaviors may improve significantly in a quieter, structured home. Dog reactive on leash, but not aggressive in greeting: While she pulls and vocalizes around dogs on walks, her actual greetings have been appropriate and she disengages herself. Trainable and food motivated: With time, structure, and positive reinforcement, Sugar Foot has the potential to thrive. Medically healthy: She is underweight but otherwise in good health. Her recent gastrointestinal issues have been treated and resolved. Deserves a second chance: Sugar Foot didn't ask to be abandoned or mishandled. She deserves a patient, understanding environment where she can recover from trauma and finally be a dog. �%9D%A4��%8F Ideal Placement: ��%8F� Adult-only home ��%A4%9D Rescue or adopter with experience in fearful or high-energy dogs ��%90��'�%8D��|� Calm environment with structured routine ��s Someone willing to work on leash reactivity through positive reinforcement �%8F� Time to decompress and build trust at her own pace.
