Background
Naomi cam to PACK Taiwan as a puppy after being found in a dirty alleyway, barely clinging to her life. Luckily, someone found her and brought her to the vet for treatment. After Naomi recovered, she slowly regained her energy and playfulness. However, no one came to bring her home so the vet asked PACK for our help. Thus, she began her journey with us.
Personality
Naomi really loves her people. She is a quiet dog, almost never barking. She's a shy and timid girl. When she gets scared, she will try to hide instead of being aggressive. She doesn't like loud noises, like thunder and rain and will try to run away. Naomi will pout and be mad at you for a while if you do something she doesn't like, such as making her take a bath. However, she can't bear to be mad for too long and will want your attention soon! Naomi is suitable for many different kinds of homes, let us know if you want to meet her!

Behavioral Observations
Naomi is an obedient dog but very sensitive and timid. When she's frightened she will display a strong reaction. For example, when she hears thunder or if someone makes a sound noise or movement to scare her, she will try to run away. It may take some time for her to feel safe again. She won't listen to commands when she is in this state. She is generally uninterested in other dogs but doesn't show aggression. If a dog is rude and invades her personal space, she may show her teeth.
