Shi

Shi is a special girl with a soft heart and a quiet kind of sweetness that shows more and more each day.

That's a big win.<br/><br/> She loves car rides and prefers to be your co-pilot with the window down.<br/>She will politely suggest that it is never too cold for a good breeze in her ears.<br/><br/> She's incredibly smart.<br/>Shi learns routines quickly, follows basic commands, and pays close attention to her humans.<br/><br/> On walks, she's becoming more comfortable every day.<br/>Things that once made her nervous — like people, dogs, and bikes — don't startle her nearly as much anymore.<br/><br/> She's learning which things require her attention... and which don't.<br/>The neighbor's yappy dog? Used to be a full conversation.<br/>Now she glances... decides it's not worth the energy... and walks away like a queen.<br/><br/>Shi will do best with a home that understands:<br/><br/><br/> Trust takes time<br/> Patience is love<br/> The quiet dogs often love the deepest<br/><br/><br/>She doesn't need a loud or busy life — just a calm, kind family willing to give her the time and consistency she needs to continue blossoming.<br/><br/>Once Shi lets you in, she is all heart.<br/>The kind of dog who chooses her person and loves them forever.<br/><br/>If you want a companion who will grow with you, trust you deeply, and remind you what it means to feel safe and loved — Shi is waiting.

She's learning that rest is safe.
At first, she was constantly on alert — pacing, watching, unsure. Now, she finally lets herself relax, stretch out, and just be. That's a big win.

She loves car rides and prefers to be your co-pilot with the window down.
She will politely suggest that it is never too cold for a good breeze in her ears.

She's incredibly smart.
Shi learns routines quickly, follows basic commands, and pays close attention to her humans.

On walks, she's becoming more comfortable every day.
Things that once made her nervous — like people, dogs, and bikes — don't startle her nearly as much anymore.

She's learning which things require her attention... and which don't.

Now she glances... decides it's not worth the energy... and walks away like a queen.

Shi will do best with a home that understands:
