In need of a very special adopter. Roberta was brought to the shelter along with her puppies as part of an animal cruelty case. Initially, she was very protective of them and would refuse interactions when they were around. After they were big enough to be separated she has shown some improvement, but she is still very, very scared when interacting with handlers, especially strangers. With staff members she's familiar with, she has started to show some comfort and affection, but she is still going to be a project dog. She is someone who will need a quiet home, where she will have plenty of time to settle in and get used to all of her new people, without the stress of constant strangers.
