Scully

Scully (AKA, ³Agent Scully²) Scully entered the shelter I used to work for as a stray.  In the shelter environment she had difficulties with stress and arousal issues and was constantly panting and jumping vertically in her kennel. She just couldn¹t handle the stress of shelter life.  However Scully is incredibly social with people and has mazing dog-dog skills; she also happens to have a wicked submissive grin that can¹t help but make anyone who sees it smile.  I fostered her with the intent of helping with her impulse control and stress relief and she wound up staying as well.  She had separation anxiety for the first several months she came home and has successfully worked through that with the help of a strong behavior modification program.  Now her new job is to help me socialize puppies and work with adult dogs that have fear issues with new dogs.  We¹re hoping she also finds a passion for agility one of these days, though she seems to prefer sleeping.  We¹ll see.
