I am a sweet pup that just needs a chance. My former owners dumped me on a busy road, but fortunately someone witnessed it and came to my rescue. I am housebroken, good on a leash and in a crate, and have already learned how to sit on command. I am playful and a total cuddle bug, and I love meeting new people. Other dogs scare me, but I am still very young and insecure, and I think that if I had a patient and kind human in my life that could build up my sense of security, I could build lasting friendships with other dogs. I have been through a lot in my short life, and just need a chance. Will you help me?
