Shaq's Story
Shaq is a quiet, gentle Chihuahua mix, around 4 years old, who is bravely learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He's a shy, sensitive boy at first, but with patience and kindness, his sweet personality truly shines.<br/><br/>During a recent foster stay, Shaq made wonderful progress and showed just how special he is. His foster describes him as "such a sweet, well-mannered pup" who is working hard to face his fears-and doing a great job.<br/><br/>Shaq's best qualities:<br/> Potty trained and will cry to let you know when he needs to go outside<br/> Dog-friendly and finds comfort in the presence of other dogs<br/> Loves calm, quiet walks-this is when his tail wags and his confidence comes through<br/> Cheese lover (his favorite treat!)<br/> Prefers cozy beds over toys and loves curling up to relax<br/> Sleeps happily in his crate<br/><br/>Shaq is still timid and needs a patient, gentle adopter who understands that trust takes time. He does best when approached calmly and appreciates a few head pets and encouragement-especially when putting on his leash or being picked up. He is not aggressive, just sensitive, and thrives when handled thoughtfully.<br/><br/>If you're someone who believes the quiet ones are often the most rewarding, Shaq will repay your patience with loyalty, trust, and a very special kind of love.
