“I was found a stray
So peeps should stay away
That’s what people say
That’s what people say
But I keep learning
Can’t stop, won’t stop trying
It’s like I got this music
In my mind, saying it’s gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off”
Hi my name is Ivory! I love Taylor Swift and its not just because we have the same beautiful blonde locks! Her song “Shake it Off” motivates me to become the best dog I can be so I can get adopted! Like my song says, I lived on the streets for many years without human contact. So I admit I have struggled with adjusting to living in a home. I’m just not used to having people around me who want to love and snuggle. But I am trying. So I am hoping my song will reach a family who is willing to be very patient with me as I adjust to the good life.
The good news is that I am a pretty darn good dog! I am house and crate-trained, I know my name and even know how to sit! I love treats and can even catch them in the air! Oh, I also love other dogs! They are so much fun to play with and be around. So I think I would do best in a home with another dog. My canine buddy could help me learn to live and play in a home while teaching me to trust. Since I’m still shy and skittish, I would do best in a home without small children. I don’t think I am ready for all that energy! Are you my perfect family?
