Owner Info: Easy is a beautiful young hound mix who was found in a dich and surrendered to a rescuer who is now looking for a loving home for her. She was adopted out once already but returned because the resident dog attacked her. Her rescuer no longer wants to adopt her out to inexperienced handlers. Easy’s current caregiver is a rescuer and boarder and has dogs and cats coming and going daily and Easy needs consistency.

Easy is an indoor dog who is crated. She is housebroken and leash-trained. She knows commands, sit, stay, and leave it. Easy is outgoing but has also become nervous and anxious.

Easy’s caregiver told us that since she has been back after being returned, she now is more easily frightened and has bitten other dogs out of fear.  They were not serious bites but her caregiver says, “with boarding animals I cannot risk even minor bites”. She also shows signs of anxiety and depression such as excessive salivating, whimpering, and pacing in the crate. Easy’s caregiver says this is due to the stress of having strange people and dogs in the home all the time. Easy has been started on anti-anxiety meds. Otherwise, her caregiver says Easy adapts well to new situations an places. She says she is an awesome dog and “the most affectionate dog I’ve ever seen.”
