🐾 MY RESCUE STORY 🐾

I was rescued from a city pound where I had sadly been placed on the euthanasia list. Through no fault of my own, I was running out of time and my future was uncertain. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in just in time and gave me the second chance I desperately needed.

Those scary days are behind me now, and I’m ready to look toward a much brighter future. All I’m missing is a forever family who will cherish me, keep me safe, and love me as a true member of the family for the rest of my life.

💖 MY PERSONALITY 💖

I absolutely love people and seem to believe that everyone I meet is a new best friend! I open up very easily and am so affectionate that I may happily climb onto your lap even when we’ve only just met. Being close to people is where I’m happiest, and I’ll gladly soak up all the cuddles, pets, and attention you have to give.

Because I crave human companionship and form strong attachments, I may be prone to developing separation anxiety once I bond with my forever family. Helping me build healthy independence from the beginning will be important. I’m also a smart girl who already knows how to sit and wait!

Despite being abandoned after having most of my fur shaved off, I haven’t lost my trust in people. I still approach everyone with an open heart and so much love to give. All I’m looking for now is a family who will return that love and show me that this time, I’m truly home.

 

🐶 MY SOCIAL SKILLS 🐶

· With People: I absolutely love people! Everyone I meet instantly becomes my new best friend, and I’m always excited to soak up all the attention, pets, and affection you have to give. I’m incredibly trusting and comfortable being close to people, and I happily allow myself to be picked up and held. If you’re looking for a little companion who will happily shower you with love from the moment we meet, I might just be your girl.

· With Dogs: I like greeting new dogs and am happy to make new canine friends, but I don’t usually jump straight into play. I prefer taking things at my own pace and am often perfectly content doing my own thing. Very energetic or overly playful dogs can sometimes overwhelm me, so I’m most comfortable around calm and respectful canine friends who understand my boundaries.

· With Cats: My reaction to cats is currently unknown, but a cat test can be arranged upon request to help ensure the best match for my future home. During walks, I sometimes notice cats and watch them with curiosity, but I quickly lose interest and happily continue on my way.

 

⚡️ ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY ⚡️

I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring, and having fun, but once I’ve had my activity and excitement, I’m more than happy to come inside and relax comfortably indoors.

 

🧠 TRAINING & HABITS 🧠

I walk well on leash and follow my handler’s lead nicely, making me an enjoyable walking companion. I also have great manners around food and don’t guard my meals or treats from either people or other dogs.

Because I love being around people and form strong bonds, I may become prone to separation anxiety as I grow attached to my forever family. Patience, consistent training, and helping me build healthy independence from the beginning will benefit me in the long run. I rarely bark and know how to settle and rest calmly in my kennel. If I’m left alone for longer periods, I may let out a few soft whines, but I’m not particularly loud.

For potty habits, I currently go both indoors using pee pads and outdoors. Since I’m a small girl who loves following my people everywhere, I may also try to sneak through the door behind you. My future family should be mindful when opening doors, especially in new environments, and make sure small openings are securely closed.

 

🏡 MY IDEAL HOME 🏡

I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with:

• A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment

• A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout

• A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together

• A family that will love and cherish me forever

 

💌 SPECIAL NOTES 💌

I’m an incredibly affectionate girl with so much love to give. People are truly my favorite thing in the world, and I seem to believe that everyone I meet is simply a new best friend waiting to happen. I love sitting on laps, being held, following my favorite humans around, and soaking up every bit of affection I can get.

I also have one especially adorable feature that makes me stand out: my naturally pink “eyeliner”! The soft pink around my eyes gives me such a sweet and unique expression, and paired with my affectionate personality, it’s pretty hard not to fall in love with me.

From my condition when I was found, the staff and volunteers could tell that I likely hadn’t come from the loving and caring environment every dog deserves. Yet somehow, I haven’t let my past change the way I see people. I still trust so easily and approach everyone with an open heart.

Everyone who spends time with me hopes that my next chapter will be completely different. The staff and volunteers want nothing more than to see me find a family who will truly cherish me, protect me, and treat me like the precious little girl I am. I’ve already shown just how much love I’m capable of giving. Now I deserve a family who will give that same love back to me for the rest of my life.
