Addison

My story

Addison is a quiet joy to have in the home. Shy and unsure for the first couple of days, she has since warmed up beautifully and now enjoys a calm, trusting relationship with her person. She bonds quickly and deeply with gentle handling and a patient environment. In the home, Addison is peaceful and well-mannered. She enjoys plush toys and her dog tennis ball and is content lounging on the floor, your lap, or the patio with a favorite toy nearby. She’s house-trained and sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, also tolerating a few hours crated during the day without complaint. On walks, Addison is a mix of cheerful exploration and understandable caution. She walks happily most of the time, but can get spooked by people, animals, or even sudden movement like cottonwood fluff. When she’s startled, she may freeze, hide behind your legs, or try to move away—but she’s never shown aggression or fear-based reactivity. She just needs someone who can be her steady anchor. Addison doesn’t chew on shoes, but she might nibble on soft items like fabric or her leash. With continued guidance and routine, she’s well on her way to blossoming into a confident and secure pup. She is currently the only pet in her foster home and doing wonderfully. Addison is a loving, quiet companion who will thrive in a calm, stable home where she can continue to build trust and confidence. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will enrich your life with her gentle presence, Addison may be the perfect match.
