Rumor is a 34 pound, 5 year old blue merle who had to be trapped in September, 2021 during the Caldor Fire in El Dorado County. She would not come to anyone and was living off the land for at least 2 weeks before being trapped. She is quite skittish and very smart - an accomplished escape artist! On 9/20/21, she gave birth to three puppies at the Sanctuary. Her puppies have found great homes, and now it's Rumor's turn.

She wants to roam so fencing in her home must be bullet-proof. She's very playful with all dogs, terribly afraid of new people and needs to be introduced on leash. Rumor has been on Prozac for 5 months and it lessens her anxiety. We're looking for a home where she can play with dogs, not get out of her yard, and with a person who will take her on leash walks and introduce her to a non-threatening world. Fostered in Grass Valley.
