Personality Color: green

Green dogs are a bit more shy and sensitive, maybe a little anxious, but are sweet and they try hard. These dogs will flourish with patient adopters providing gentle guidance and confidence building. They are likely too timid for active homes with children, and would do best in a calm, quiet home getting the TLC they deserve.

I am a petite, black-and-white sweetheart with a sensitive spirit and an adorably delicate charm. Fast movements and loud noises can make me feel a bit nervous at first, but don’t let my shy exterior fool you—I try so hard every single day to be brave! I am an affectionate girl who just looks to her humans for soft-spoken reassurance and patience.

I am built for peaceful days, soft blankets, and respectful love. Here are a few sweet ingredients from my résumé:

  • The “Consent Check” Connoisseur: I love affection, but I shine brightest when my humans offer a gentle hand and let me invite the pets on my own terms! Once I know you are safe, I will gladly step right in to soak up your warmth.
  • Spa Day Enthusiast: I have a gorgeous, soft coat of curls that will thrive with regular grooming sessions to keep me looking and feeling like a million bucks.
  • Eager Snack Scholar: Food is a wonderful bridge to my heart! I get enthusiastic for treats, might already know “sit”, and love positive reward training that helps my bravery bloom.
  • Private Dining Sanctuary: Commotion around food makes me feel anxious. I prefer to enjoy my meals in my own quiet, solo space without an audience so I can dine peacefully and decompress.

Because I can be timid and sensitive around sudden movements, I am looking for a calm, supportive home (and gentle kids 8+) that appreciates a tender soul and practices slow, positive guidance.

If you have a quiet sanctuary, a gentle touch, and a heart ready to nurture a hidden gem, I am ready to be your most devoted, loving companion.
