Susie has shown some protective behaviors around her food and can be cautious in new situations, so she'll need an experienced family who understands her needs. From our volunteer observations, she seems tolerant of other dogs and has a laid-back, gentle style when around them. With patience and understanding, Susie could become a wonderful companion for the right home. Contact us about Susie today!
