Story
I'm initially quite timid and fearful when I meet strangers, and it typically takes me around 3 to 7 days to start feeling comfortable around them. Once that happens, I'm more than happy to let people pet, hold, lift, and even carry me around. With other dogs, I'm incredibly friendly. I thrive around dogs of a similar size to me, and I tend to do even better in a household where there's another dog. I rely on the companionship and support of my fellow four-legged friends. My curiosity piques when I encounter cats, but I'm not the type to engage in aggressive behaviour towards them. Peaceful coexistence is more my style. As for my energy level, I'm moderate. I relish outdoor activities but am equally content with the calmness of indoor settings. During walks, I might pull a bit, but I'm quick to adjust and follow the handler well. You won't find me guarding resources when it comes to people or other dogs, and I'm not one to create a fuss through excessive barking. Additionally, I've got crate training down to a tee. For now, I'm comfortable with both indoor and outdoor potty options, but as a walking routine is established, I'll likely transition to outdoor potty exclusively. Rescue Story: As a young puppy, Happy found herself in a city shelter, where her journey took a dramatic turn. During a severe and rainy day, the shelter became inundated with flooding. Remarkably, it was young Happy who displayed an extraordinary act of bravery and self-preservation. At just 8 months old, she managed to navigate her way to the rooftop, saving herself from the rising waters. One of the rescuers has spotted Happy and decided to rescue her.
