Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
These small dogs are shy and still learning to trust people, but with time, patience, and love, they have the potential to blossom into wonderful companions. Right now, they are not comfortable being touched and need a calm, quiet home where they can decompress at their own pace.
They’ll need help learning the basics, including leash walking and house training. Ideally, they would thrive in a small, easily cleaned space while they adjust to indoor life and learn manners. With a structured routine and plenty of encouragement, these little ones are sure to make progress and show their sweet sides in time!
If you’re ready to provide a safe, nurturing environment and are experienced with undersocialized dogs (or up for the challenge), these pups could be your next success story. Reach out to ask how you can adopt and watch them grow into a confident, happy dog!
