🤎ADOPTED💖 💔DEADLINED TOMORROW 9/9 BY 5pm GIA🚨 ANIMAL RESOURCE CENTER ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA Gia is a 4-year-old German Shepherd who is absolutely terrified in the shelter. 💔 When I saw her, she was just lying quietly in her kennel. After a little while, she moved all the way to the back — not because she’s mean or doesn’t want love, but because right now, she doesn’t know who she can trust. She freezes, shakes, pants heavily, and sometimes has to be carried because she’s simply too scared to walk. 😭 She appears to be undersocialized, and the shelter environment is only making things harder for her. Gia doesn’t need someone to expect anything from her right away. She needs time, patience, a quiet place to decompress, and someone willing to let her learn that she’s finally safe. ❤️🩹 She’s such a cute girl, and I really want her to have the opportunity to show who she is once that fear starts to fade.
