Niihau's Story

Niihau is a shy, submissive girl who has spent most of her life quietly waiting for her chance. The runt of her litter and the last one still searching for a home, she’s missed out on many milestones…but she hasn’t lost her ability to love.<br/><br/>She’ll need a very patient, experienced adopter who understands shy dogs and is willing to help her continue building confidence and social skills. Niihau is not the type to rush up for attention, but once she feels safe, she becomes deeply loyal and devoted to her people.<br/><br/>She does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and livestock, but is not safe with chickens or small critters. She’s respectful with children who understand boundaries and patience. Niihau is crate trained, still working on potty training and leash skills, and does best in a secure home since she may try to flee if frightened. Car rides aren’t her favorite, and she has some separation anxiety she’s actively working through.<br/><br/>Niihau would thrive in a calm home, apartment, or ranch with someone looking for a project dog… one who needs time, structure, and reassurance. In return, she offers a quiet, profound kind of love that only comes from earning a shy dog’s trust.<br/><br/>If you’re willing to help a gentle soul finally blossom, Niihau will give you her whole heart.<br/><br/>Est DOB 2/10/25
