    I had a sheltie named Sivonne that passed away a few years ago of old age. She was the sweetest, most docile girl, let toddlers pet her and didn’t mind when cats came over. She was, however, deathly afraid of going outside, and we rescued her from a breeder who de-barked her after she refused to be either a show dog or a breeding dog. I’m not sure how much of her calmness was her personality or just resignation to life, but I hope she felt safe and comfortable for the time she was with us.
