Lottie - Kitchener

My story

Lottie is a lovable pup with a heart as big as her smile! She’s the perfect mix of bubbly and cheerful, always ready for some fun and an adventure. She can be quite nervous in new situations and needs an understanding adopter who will take things slowly and give her the time she needs to build trust. But once you’re in her circle, she’s incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving. Lottie would thrive in a quiet, calm home with people who will respect her pace and gently help her continue to build confidence. With a little time and a lot of love, she’s sure to become a wonderful companion!If you`re the kind of person who believes in second chances and seeing shy souls shine, Lottie might be your perfect match.
