Denali

My story

Denali: The Sweetest Face You’ve Ever Seen Female • Spayed • Est. DOB 2016Currently in Boarding – Naperville, IL With one of the sweetest, most soulful faces, Denali is truly stunning. She’s also incredibly gentle. As the mother of this group of Aussies, she protected her pups in the only way she knew how—quietly and calmly, despite a life of long-term neglect. Denali wasn’t abused, but she was never given attention, love, or time. She’s now fearful of people, unsure how to respond to kindness—but there’s a softness about her that says she’s ready. Denali is spayed, dewormed, fully vetted, and up to date on vaccinations. She’s currently in boarding in Naperville, but that’s not where a dog like her will thrive. She needs a quiet home to decompress, gain confidence, and learn how wonderful life can be with people who care. To help her come out of her shell, Denali should be separated from her pack, as they retreat emotionally when kept together. One-on-one attention will allow her to grow. Australian Shepherds are sensitive, intuitive, and deeply loyal. Denali is no different—she’s just never had someone to bond with. Could you be her person? ##2379652##
