What kind of home would be best for me?  Meet Dainty, a beautiful girl who came to us as a breeder release. Like many dogs in similar situations, Dainty is still learning about the world and can be easily spooked. She’s unsure of many things and needs a patient adopter who can guide her through her journey of trust and security.

Dainty is not comfortable around small dogs. She becomes anxious when small dogs are near her feet and may growl or snap. She does better with larger dogs, though sudden movements by them can startle her. No cats for this girl. Dainty enjoys the company of her small pack here and is beginning to understand that she is in a safe, loving space. Dainty has never lived without the companionship of other dogs and requires another large, confident dog in her forever home.

Dainty will need an adopter who is patient, understanding, kind, and most importantly, loving. With the right guidance, she has the potential to become a wonderful and affectionate pet. She doesn't mind if her adopter is single, a couple, or a family, as long as she receives lots of love and care. If adopted by a family, we recommend a home with older children, as sudden movements and loud noises can frighten her.

What is my personality like?  Dainty is a young (under 2-year-old) dog with no life experience. As a breeder release, she has never known what it means to be a companion or pet. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in heart. Every experience for this girl is new; you will teach her everything. It will be work. She will be worth it.

Dainty can walk on a leash, but she is easily spooked by many things. At times, she may try to run away or dart between your legs. She doesn’t yet know basic commands, but with time and patience, she will learn. Teaching Dainty new commands and how to walk confidently on a leash will help strengthen your bond with her.

 

We’re seeing Dainty slowly blossom with each passing day. You can see in her eyes that she wants to trust people and share her love. This girl is waiting patiently for her special adopter who will give her the chance to thrive. If you have it in your heart to work with this girl as she develops into your loving and caring pet, come see Dainty today. It just may be love at first sight for both of you.



How do I act when I first meet new people?  Dainty is initially wary of new people, but it’s clear that she wants to connect and be loved. If you take your time with her, she will gradually allow you to pet her and begin to trust you.

Other tips and tidbits: Dainty's birthday is 07/09/2023.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
