Shotzie came to us from an over crowded shelter. She was scared there, and very untrusting of new people. She's a mature girl, not real high energy, a little slower to get out of bed in the morning...but very sweet once she learns that you are her person and she can trust you. She is excellent in her crate and good in the house as long as she's left for reasonable periods of time. Shotzie is ok with other dogs as long as they are not too intrusive. She will not be placed in a home with children. No electric fences please
