When her foster mom comes to her crate to feed her, she is joyous and welcomes her.  When Sprite’s foster dad comes to her crate, she cowers and sits the furthest back as she can. We believe crating her all day with only a man coming to let her out will remind her of our trauma.   Sprite pees in place whenever you put her harnesses on her, so taking her on walks is a messy situation. Once her harness and leash are on, she will not walk; she will plant herself and cower in place. She will have lots of accidents in the house if she does not have a fenced-in backyard.  Sprite sleeps in a crate at night, and when her foster family runs errands, there has been little to no barking. If you approach Sprite, there is a chance she will pee in place, but if she approaches you, she would love cuddles and pets. Sprite is young and has energy to get out, so she loves to run and play with other dogs. However, she is terrified of loud noises, so we don’t think a home with kids would be good for her. She gets scared when the ice dispenser dispenses ice.  She is starting to approach the male human in the house, and she is letting him pet her. There is never any aggression; her defense mechanism is peeing on you if you pick her up.  Sprite needs time and patience in a loving home. Are you the right home for Sprite?
