Magdalena

Hi, my name is Magdalena! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Timid, Curious, Sweetheart, Energetic, Intelligent<br/>-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history, but due to her fearful behavior we are requiring ages 16+. Up to counselor's discretion. <br/>-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history. Will need SLOW and SUPERVISED interactions and introductions.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: Another well-matched dog to help build her confidence and show her the ropes would be great! Initial intro done @ WHS<br/>-Can do Apartment Living: No thanks. Magdalena would do best in a home with a yard. <br/>-Potty Trained: Appears to be<br/>-Bite History: Nope<br/>-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, at least one private lesson to help build her confidence.<br/>-Energy Level: Medium<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay provided by WHS prior to going home<br/>-Additional Information:<br/>Meet Magdalena, a gentle 2 year old soul looking for a patient, understanding home where she can truly blossom. At just two years old, she has her whole life ahead of her, and we are dedicated to making sure her future is bright, safe, and filled with love. The shelter environment is overwhelming for Magdalena. With all the loud noises, new faces, and unfamiliar surroundings, everything feels scary to her right now. She is a fearful girl who desperately needs a family that understands the true commitment it takes to help a shy dog build confidence. Magdalena’s ideal adopters will understand that trust isn't built overnight. She needs a quiet home that offers stability, routine, and positive enrichment to help her navigate the world at her own pace. With time, soft encouragement, and predictable daily routines, Magdalena will learn that she no longer needs to be afraid. While she may start off hesitant, we fully believe that once Magdalena feels safe in her forever home, she will form an incredibly deep, unbreakable bond with her people. There is nothing more rewarding than earning the trust of a sensitive dog and watching them discover how wonderful life can be. If you have the heart, patience, and commitment to show Magdalena that the world isn't so scary after all, please submit an application to meet her today.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
