Happy

Some dogs come to us knowing how to be loved. Happy is still learning.<br/><br/>Happy is a 3-year-old, 15lb poodle mix who came to us from a big hoarding situation. He is one of so many dogs who spent his first few years just surviving, without ever really getting to be a puppy. He didn’t get the walks, the visitors, the cuddles on the couch, or the chance to learn that the world can be safe. What he got instead was crowded, chaotic, and lonely in a way that only a pup who has never truly been seen can understand. Yet, underneath all that fear, there is the sweetest soul waiting to bloom.<br/><br/>He is shy at first. He won’t rush into your arms on day one, and he may need you to sit quietly nearby while he decides you’re safe. But if you give him that time. Some dogs come to us knowing how to be loved. Happy is still learning.<br/><br/>This boy will need time to adapt and form a bond with his new humans. He has had minimal socialization, so his new family will need patience, gentleness, and a quiet home where he can decompress and discover who he really is. He doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone who won’t give up on him when he’s scared.<br/><br/>He finds his bravest self when there’s another dog around. A confident canine friend shows him how to be a dog how to play, how to relax, how to trust that the leash means adventure and not fear. Happy has already proven just how capable he is. He is learning house training. He is learning leash training. He is learning, for the first time in his life, what it feels like to be cared for.<br/><br/>If you’re the kind of person who believes the shy ones deserve the softest landing, Happy is waiting for you. He has spent three years waiting for someone to show him that love isn’t scary. Could that someone be you? If so email jonesm4318@gmail.com today!
