I can absolutely keep myself busy with my stuffies or a good chew, but deep down I’m a total lap dog who feels happiest when I’m close to my favorite people. Snuggles aren’t just something I enjoy... they’re truly the way to my heart!<br/><br/>I love going on leisurely walks where I can take in the world at my own pace. I’m still learning that new places, new people, and new situations can be safe and fun, so I’d really appreciate someone who can be patient with me. I’m a shy gal at first, and I tend to stick close to my humans for comfort and support, especially when things feel unfamiliar. But once I settle in and trust you, you’ll see my sweet, silly, cuddly personality shine.<br/><br/>I also really enjoy being around other dogs! I like their company and find a lot of confidence from having a friendly dog buddy nearby. Whether we’re gently playing, relaxing together, or just coexisting, having another dog around helps me feel more secure.<br/><br/>What I’m really hoping for is a person or family who understands my sensitive nature and is willing to help me continue building my confidence. In return, I’ll give you endless affection, warm snuggles, quiet loyalty, and all the sweetness my little heart can offer.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will love you deeply and stick by your side, I think we might be the perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you!<br/><br/>Love, Rita
