Socks AKA Gianna is one of four sisters who are at Pariah Dog – her sisters being Jojo, Jemma, and Gismo! We nickname them the skunk sisters – due to the wee white stripe the other 3 of them have along the ridge of their backs! Socks doesn’t have the white ridge on her back, but she’s got little white socks on instead!
Socks is one of our most timid dogs. We are currently working hard on building up her confidence and she’s making progress! She needs a lot of time and patience to help her overcome her fear of humans, but with the right love she will definitely get there (her trust in me is now already hugely improved, she comes to the top of the steps to greet me with a big waggy tail and a smile and comes forward to get a wee treat and lets me stroke her head and chin!) but when people she doesn’t know are in her area, she runs away and hides under a table.
Socks will need someone who can give her a lot of patience and love but it would absolutely be worth it when you see her come out of her shell and learn to trust you.
