Ms Fancie is doing great!
Having MeMe around has really brought Fancie out of her shell (and crate) She plays real hard with MeMe and the other bullies. While Fancie had no physical conditions when she came into rescue her mental condition was broke and she is recovering very well. She is no longer so shy or timid and has learned some confidence, she no longer runs to her crate everytime she hears something. She is actually no longer relying on her crate for security, she is out of her crate all day while accompanied and has not even been sleeping in it at night.
She is getting the hang of potty training and MeMe has also helped Fancie with this, but you must watch Fancie because she will not "notify" you when she has to go, she just goes to the door and you better be there to open it for her. It will take her some time to get this down and she will need someone willing to continue to work with her on this.
Fancie likes to get loves and attention but really does not like to be showered or mauled with it, she likes her space. I think once Fancie learns to trust her humans she may decide she likes it, but she really did not have a lot of contact her first year of life.
She is a very sweet girl who really does deserve to have a great life and she will make someone a great companion. I would really like to see Fancie have a brother to play with as this will help her continue to grow mentally.
Please check back to see how she is doing.

Welcome Fancie
Fancie has lived in a crate 10 to 12 hrs a day for most of her life, she just turned a year old a few days ago. Her original person gave her to someone else and they tried to make a go of it but she needs more rehabilitation than they can give her right now.
She is currently not housebroken, leash trained or familiar with the outside world. She is very timid from lack of socialization and cowers when she sees the leash. Her foster parents are working with her on these issues and once she has become more worldly and potty trained she will be placed in her final and forever home.
