Meet Glenda
Gentle and sensitive* Learning to trust* Sweet heartMeet Glenda, a gentle girl who is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. She can be nervous with new people and can be sensitive to touch, so she does best when given plenty of patience and time to get comfortable. Once outside the busy shelter environment, Glenda slowly begins to relax. By the end of her walks, her tail comes out of its tuck, her body becomes more wiggly, and she happily sniffs and takes in her surroundings. Underneath those nerves is a sweet girl who wants to feel safe and build trust at her own pace. Glenda will need a patient person who can let her set the pace and celebrate her little moments of progress. With time, kindness, and a quiet environment, this sweet girl has plenty of potential to blossom into a wonderful companion.
