Dandelion's Story

Meet Dandelion <br/><br/>Dandelion is the sweetest girl with the gentlest soul. In just one month in foster care, she has come so far. After spending the beginning of her life knowing only the inside of a cage, she's finally learning what it means to be loved.<br/><br/>She can be a little shy at first, but underneath that is a dog who absolutely craves affection and wants so badly to trust her people. Every day she grows a little braver, and watching her personality blossom has been incredibly rewarding.<br/><br/>Dandelion gets along wonderfully with other animals and children. She would especially thrive in a home with another friendly pet who can help build her confidence, though she'd also do well with someone patient who is committed to showing her the love and security she's never had before.<br/><br/>Because of her past, she does not like being crated, as it causes her significant anxiety. She's doing very well with potty training and only has the occasional accident as she continues to learn. Car rides aren't her favorite either—she tends to get carsick and would much rather stay home than tag along on adventures.<br/><br/>Dandelion doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She's simply learning that the world can be a safe place. She needs a family that will give her patience, kindness, and the time to continue building her confidence.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog whose love will be deeply earned and incredibly rewarding, Dandelion may be your perfect match. All she's ever wanted is a chance to know what it feels like to truly belong.<br/><br/>If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.
