I'm really drawn to the shy ones too. I have pretty good luck w/ getting them to accept me. It's so rewarding to see the fear melt away. A shy little Sheltie is hard to resist.Funny, maybe because I have Shelties, I'm always drawn to the shy dogs at the shelter to spend extra time with. Folks there know I'm good with those types and can get them to open up a little, so they let me know which new ones might need a little extra TLC.![]()
