PINTA

My story

Meet Pinta, A Sweet Girl Learning to Come Out of Her Shell! Pinta is a sweet, shy girl who has come such a long way since entering foster care! She may be a little fearful at first, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her personality really starts to shine. Her foster family describes her as playful, bouncy, and eager for connection with the people she trusts. She seeks them out for cuddles, gives the cutest little “woo-woos” when she wants to play, and some mornings they wake up to find her curled up right beside them.Pinta just needs someone who understands that trust takes time. She does best when people meet her where she is—literally! Sit or squat down with her, give her some time, and she`ll come right over for attention.She LOVES other dogs! Pinta currently plays beautifully with her foster family`s three high-energy female Husky mixes. Having a confident, dog-social dog in her forever home would be a wonderful way to help her continue building confidence. She is also: Fully potty trained, Crate trained for up to 4 hours, Comfortable around vacuums, blow dryers, and other household noises, Playful and affectionate once she feels comfortableLeash walking is still a work in progress, and Pinta will soon be working with a trainer. Her forever family will need to be committed to continuing that work and helping her become more confident.Pinta does especially well in a women-led or all-female household. She simply needs time to warm up to new people and will do best with someone who is patient and willing to let her build trust at her own pace.Pinta is looking for: Someone experienced with shy or fearful dogs, A confident, dog-social dog to help her build confidence, An adults-only home, A patient person willing to give her the time she needs to warm up, Someone committed to continuing her training journey,
