My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Lynette, the sweet and gentle pup who's looking for a patient and loving forever home!

Lynette is currently in foster care and has been an easy addition to her new home. She's house-trained, crate-trained, and is very food-motivated. Although she has some challenges, including being nervous of everything, especially the outside world, she's making progress with her foster family. She's not very active and prefers sleeping most of the day, but she does enjoy working with treat puzzles and gentle activities.

One of Lynette's standout qualities is her good behavior when left alone. She loves her crate and spends most of her time sleeping peacefully. She's quiet, respectful of the home, and rarely barks, even when someone's knocking on the front door. She's happy to adapt to her environment and would be great in an apartment setting.

While Lynette is still learning to seek out human affection and cuddles, she does enjoy snuggling on the couch with her favorite humans. She also loves laying by your feet when you're working at home, and will gently boop you with her nose for treats and pets. She's sweet, submissive, and always on her best behavior.

As a shy and nervous pup, Lynette thrives in a low-traffic home and will appreciate having very slow introductions to new people and animals, with lots of space and time to hang out by herself. With a little patience and love, Lynette will make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loyal and affectionate furry friend.

If you're interested in providing Lynette with the loving home she deserves, please consider adopting her and helping her continue her journey to confidence and happiness.
