My story

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

Meet Pecan!

Weight: 25 lbs

This little lady is ready to find her forever home, and we're super excited to tell you about her. This sweet gal will likely need to visit a few times before feeling fully confident to go home, she will be a really great companion once given the time and patience to learn her new home and people, and fully decompress. Her family should be prepared to utilize puppy classes to help build her confidence and help socialize with animals and people outside of her home, she can grow into a very confident, comfortable and excited to adventure new fun places!

Pecan will most definitely need another canine friend or friends in home, as she is most comfortable, and thrives around her dog friends. She is currently in foster with a few other dogs and doing well. We see this a lot with animals that used to being in packs, or in a home with a large amount of dogs, which is where she came from. Her foster home also has a couple dog-savvy cats and with slow introductions she is doing well. The youngest kiddo in her foster home is 13, so dog-savvy teens for her would be best.

She does great in her crate in her foster home but sometimes can struggle when left alone for long periods! She loves her kongs, especially when they have peanut butter in them, very playful - especially with stuffed toys and LOVES to play in the water!

If you think Pecan would be a good addition to your home, please submit an application and our canine or foster coordinator will be in touch to set up an appointment!
