I don't know how my sister didn't see any signs of this at the shelter where she got her (named Maka). But for the longest time Maka was afraid of everything. And I mean everything. There would be times she would see something on the tv and then not want to go anywhere near the tv. She was afraid of all new people and would run away from them. She also had allergy issues or something since she would always get sick. Now she's on a feed that is for sensitive stomachs I believe.
It was to the point that my sister almost wanted to give her up. Lukily I talked her out of it fearing that Maka would be put down, when I truly thought it was something that could be worked on.
Now my sister is moving to Maine, husband is in the navy, and Maka is at my parents for the time being. I feared how she would do on the flight over, but now that she's over here, she's a changed dog. She's still slightly scared of new people, but warms up to them much quicker, and is no longer afraid of objects like before. And now she actually begs for attention where before she would run away. She also loves to play fetch and play with other dogs.
So I'm so glad my sister didn't give her up.
But yes, while visiting my sister, I took Maka for walks and discovered that she loved to run. So now my mom has problems trying to walk the dogs since Maka tries to run the whole time while our old pug lags behind lol
