Evolet-Foster Retriever Gloucester, MA

Evolet is currently enjoying her time in a foster home. She loves the other dogs and has bonded with her caretakers. I am sure if you were to have another dog and a quiet household she would bond with you as well.

Meet Evolet, a gentle and adorable 7-month-old puppy from Puerto Rico who has been learning to trust humans since the day she arrived here at the shelter. We have had the pleasure of getting to watch her grow, learn how to trust and slowly build her confidence here at the shelter but we know she will be so much happier in a home with a family of her own!

When Evolet first got to our shelter at the end of June she was very shut down- she would shake with fear, try to hide and find any way to avoid human contact. Luckily we noticed her love for other dogs and were able to ease some of that anxiety for her with playgroups and lots of positive reinforcement. Evolet has made such a huge improvement over the last month and a half in a lot of ways but she is definitely still working on learning to trust unfamiliar people, however she has shown interest in particular caretakers whom she has bonded with. Unfamiliar people, objects or situations can be particularly stressful for Evolet, and she may take a considerable amount of time to adjust. Evolet has had the most success when humans respect her space and boundaries. She is not comfortable with petting and may show signs of discomfort or fear when touched. Evolet will need a family who respects her boundaries and will not force unnecessary physical contact. She will need her future family to work at her pace along with being patient and bring a quiet approach.

She likes other dogs and finds comfort and happiness in their presence, which is why she is looking to be adopted by a family that has an outgoing dog at home so that she can continue to learn from them. A dog that won't be getting in her face a lot and will respect her boundaries would be the best fit for this girl.

Evolet's ideal home would be free from the hustle and bustle of young children, as their energy and unpredictability can make her anxious. She is seeking a quiet and calm home environment where she can gradually build trust and confidence. She requires an individual or family who will allow her the time and space she needs to feel secure and safe.

If you are committed to providing a patient and understanding environment, where Evolet can flourish alongside another dog, she will reward you with unconditional love and loyalty. Together, you can embark on a journey of trust-building and transformation, creating a bond that will last a lifetime.
