Nilla Bean

Meet Nilla Bean a 5 year old Papillon and Chihuahua mix, who is a happy story of transformation. While she still has spicy energy and excitement about life as a dog, she is far from the resource guarding pup she was 2 months ago. She has learned how to play with toys to amuse herself, and incorporate the zoomies alone or with an agreeable dog to expel excess energy. She also tolerates timeouts in the crate when she gets overwhelmed. She loves to explore the fenced in yard and shows no signs of wanting to escape. She occasionally potties in the house but mostly she does her business outside. She would benefit from walks or dog park visits (after she has bonded with her human). She loves snuggles and massages and sleeps happily through the night with her humans. She settled well in the car the few times she’s been a passenger. She’s a vigilant pup, noticing every movement or sound, and does bark at new noises or people. For new people visiting, I have her on leash or in the crate until they are in and settled so she can sniff and check things out without the stress of arrival greetings and movement. She is more comfortable every week with new experiences. She responds to calm instructions, such as ‘you’re ok’, or ‘come here’ or ‘no bark’ etc. She is treat and food motivated and in general is learning to trust people and a loving home. I’m not sure how she would do with kids or cats, but again if they take it slow, I think she will do fine. A playful confident resident dog would be great for her, although I think with enough socialization she would also do well as an only dog. She’s just waiting and improving her doggy skills for her forever family.<br/><br/>Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
