SHEBA**

My name is Sheba and I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I arrived to the shelter pretty underweight but with proper diet and some TLC I am doing much better! I have some broken teeth, and some possible arthritis (common in older dogs) - but I don't let this get me down! Like many dogs in NC, I am currently heartworm positive, but don't worry - OCAS will cover the cost of my treatment!

She loves attention and especially loves if people give her pats and rubs. She acts like a cat sometimes by trying to rub up against us and other objects like a couch as if she were a cat. Even though she likes attention she is happy to stay in her area of our house without adults for 4 hours at a time. She did fine having a bath. We provided a crate for her, but she only went in there to get a pillow and bring it out for herself. She took her medicine fine with the aid of greenies pill pockets (we never tried without them). Sheba seems like such a happy, LOVING dog and can be playful, but also independent and can sit or rest on her bed for long periods of time.``She is super friendly and is super well behaved, no jumping or barking at all, just wants to be loved. a lot of energy for her age but overall a normal amount of energy and joy. She is just the sweetest and loved to do anything with people.``Sheba is one of the sweetest dogs we have fostered who loves to cuddle, follow you around in every room and feels secured that way. She likes outdoors and rarely pulled while on leash. We didn't go on drive much with her but whatever short time we did, she was really quiet and loved putting her face outside with the windows down, to enjoy the view. She got into the crate very easily and was there for couple of hours without any issues/accidents. Sheba is very treat motivated and learns very fast if treats are involved. She likes getting pets from other people and also played happily with other dogs in our community, but never became aggressive. We really liked the 8 or 9 days we had Sheba with us. She's a very quiet and behaved dog who just wants cuddle and be around people.``Sheba is a sweet, gentle, fun dog. She is generally very easy going and loves being next to you all the time. She also loves going on walks as much as she can. She did well outside as well as staying for several hours within our apartment. She did well with the few other dogs we ran into, and also enjoys saying hello to people around her. She does pull on the leash, but not very strongly. She also loves watching Dog TV youtube videos! We picked up Sheba and went back to the apartment for a bit. She enjoyed walking between my spouse and I to say hello and get some pets. We took a long walk at a nearby park that she really enjoyed. We spent some time as home, and she lay down and rested for a while. We went on a couple other short walks during the day to explore the area, and she did a great job being chill and happy. She never barked or was aggressive. She is so relaxed and sweet. She always wants to be near you and get some love, but isn't too pushy or jumps at all.`
