This is what being terrified looks like

This dog was brought in by animal control while I was at the Carson shelter yesterday taking video. She is absolutely adorable and absolutely terrified. Beyond terrified. She didn’t have a kennel card so I went into the office to get her ID number (which is #A4547836) and the girl at the front desk was already claiming that she was “aggressive.” She had just came off of the truck and hadn’t even been there an hour. She’s in no way aggressive, more like frightened beyond measure and totally shy. This is a beautiful dog, a far younger dog than the shelter is claiming. They have her listed as being 3 years old, she is definitely younger than 1 year.

*Update* The Carson shelter did one of their shoddy temperament tests and failed this dog with an “F.” Totally and utterly ridiculous. I visited this kiddo again on 3/2 and she was engaging me at the bars and eating out of my hand. Something, like always, doesn’t add up about their assessments. She is thankfully being rescued and should be out of there shortly.
