Character: Gentle, brave soul with a huge heart. Cautious initially but loves cuddling up once she gets comfortable with you. She would benefit from living with another
medium+ sized dog who can continue showing her how to enjoy simply being a dog and be her confidence when she’s feeling unsure.

Dislikes: Sharp noises , stairs , heavy rain
Special talents: Stealing your heart as soon as you meet her
