My baby Rain

Rain is a sweet and very loving girl. I was told she was a minicher collie but I think she's a shetland sheepdog or an australian shepherd or both.

Rain is two years old. She was rescued from a home, that i think she was abused at. When I found her, her back legs and tall was matted together to the skin. Rain was living in a 3ft by 10ft fenced area that had rain gutters and eaves troths in it. That was a small space for one dog and her previous owner had two dogs in that small space. She weighed about 20 lbs. She was scared of everything. Now she weighs about 28 lbs and is brushed everyday. She is still scared of a lot of things, but is getting better in the 3 months I have had her.

She loves baths, long walks on a leash, and She thinks she a lap dog. She now knows sit, shack, lay down, come, roll over, She is leash trained, and house broken. I have been bringing her to the Humane Societies thrift store were I volunteer to help her learn that not all people will hurt her, and that most people are good.
