Belinda

HIGHLIGHT: <br/>- Requires a secure yard and another confident dog already established in the home. <br/><br/>Meet Belinda - quiet, observant and learning to trust. <br/><br/>Belinda is a 15-pound, 4-year-old Maltipoo mix who is still very early in her journey towards feeling safe in a human world. She's a very timid little girl who prefers to keep her distance, quietly observing everything from her safe space (the couch or her playpen area). Though she's not ready to approach people just yet, she watches closely - and those watchful eyes are full of curiosity. <br/><br/>Once she overcomes her shyness you will start to see little bits of her silly personality. She is very soft and does not shed. At this stage, Belinda is learning that people bring good things, like cuddly spaces, boiled chicken treats and predictable routines. She's also been making progress with gentle handling, although she remains very cautious, there's great potential for continued progress in the right environment. <br/><br/>To help her continue to thrive, Belinda's new home must have at least one established dog that she can trust and take cues from. (Let’s be honest, she wouldn’t mind a house with more dogs than humans.) Belinda will do best in a calm, experienced household where she can take her time and be allowed to observe first, then settle in at her own pace. <br/><br/>While she's not ready for a lot of physical affection yet, she is ready for a family who understands that trust takes time and who will be there patiently, quietly cheering her on with every small step forward. She's shown great progress in just a couple of weeks with her foster, and we're confident the right family is out there for sweet Belinda. Watching her thrive and learn to trust is pretty special, we call her Brave Belinda! <br/><br/>Apply today to learn more about this sweet girl.
