🐾 MY RESCUE STORY 🐾
I was once roaming the streets all alone, unsure of how I ended up there. Thankfully, a kind rescuer spotted me and brought me to safety. I was so lucky to be taken into temporary care—who knows what might have happened otherwise. Now I’m safe at the care facility, waiting for a brand-new chapter and a forever family who will love and cherish me.

💖 MY PERSONALITY 💖
I’m even smaller and cuter in person! I absolutely love sitting on your lap and am happiest when I’m close to my people. Volunteers and staff often say I look just like a little stuffed doll. I’m respectful and gently cautious, but at heart I’m truly a people’s dog who thrives on human companionship and loves being by your side.
🐶 MY SOCIAL SKILLS 🐶
· With People: I absolutely love interacting with people! I’m comfortable being picked up, and one of my favorite places to be is right on your lap for cuddles. I enjoy greeting new friends and soaking up all the pets and affection I can get. I haven’t had much experience with kids under 13 yet, but with my gentle and sweet nature, I’m confident I would do well with respectful children.
· With Dogs: I like to greet new dog friends and am generally calm around them. I don’t rush into play right away and often prefer doing my own thing. While I get along well with other dogs, I’m truly more of a people’s pup and love getting attention and affection from my humans.
· With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit!
⚡️ ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY ⚡️
I’m a chill, calm girl with a mellow energy and a low-key personality. I don’t ask for much—just a little time to roam around outside and enjoy the fresh air. After that, I’m happiest curled up on your lap, snuggling indoors. I’m truly a little couch potato who loves cozy, peaceful moments with my people.
🧠 TRAINING & HABITS 🧠
I walk nicely on leash and do a great job following my handler’s lead. I’m respectful around food and don’t guard with people or other dogs. I rarely bark and am generally a very quiet girl. I know how to rest calmly in my kennel and prefer doing my potty outdoors.
🏡 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 enjoys indoor and outdoor time together
• A family that will love and cherish me forever
• Ideally the only dog in the household as I’m more of a people’s pup – not an absolute requirement however! I will do well with calm & respectful dog siblings
