I'm a sweet, affectionate girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I am people-oriented, enjoy attention, and I do well with handling. I am energetic and enthusiastic and will need some help with my leash skills. I enjoy the company of other friendly dogs and love to play! I would do great with a family looking for an affectionate, fun-loving dog. You can meet me at the Everyday Adoption Center in the PetSmart at 286 W. Lake Mead Pkwy in Henderson. We're open 10am - 6pm,. We don't hold animals, so please come as soon as you can!

Story
I’m a slow-blooming kind of girl. New people and unfamiliar situations can feel overwhelming at first, but beneath my cautious exterior is a deeply affectionate dog who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved, and understood. Give me the time to trust you, and you’ll discover a devoted companion who stays close, seeks comfort by your side, and gives her whole heart to the people she loves.One of the best ways to see my personality blossom is around other dogs. I’m a playgroup queen who loves to play, and having a confident canine friend nearby can help me feel braver in the world. I look to them for reassurance, follow their lead, and begin showing the joyful, playful side that’s been waiting to come out. I could also thrive as your one-and-only in a peaceful home where we can build my confidence together.I’m searching for a patient person who understands that the most meaningful relationships aren’t always instant. With a calm home, gentle encouragement, and someone willing to celebrate every little victory, I have so much potential to become an incredible companion.Watching me learn to trust, play, and fully embrace life won’t just change my world—it may become one of the most rewarding love stories of yours. Come meet me, take things at my pace, and you may just become the person who helps me finally bloom!Dog Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I may enjoy sharing my home with a confident and social male dog who is my size or larger.Cat Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I am not compatible with cats.Child Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I am seeking a quiet, adult-only home. Housing Needs: Fenced yard required.From: Owner/Guardian Surrender
