Hello there, wonderful human! Meet the delightful Delores! This lovely lady is a 9-year-old medium-sized lab mix who has an incredible story to tell! 🐕✨ Picture this: Delores was navigating her way through the forest, just trying to survive on her own, until the amazing folks at AHeinz57 came along to rescue her from that challenging life. Although her beginnings have made her a bit shy and cautious around new faces, there’s a heart of gold just waiting to shine! 💖 When she sees familiar human friends, her tail starts wagging like a joyful flag! She’s making strides every day—learning to take treats gently and even getting comfortable with grooming. Imagine that—this sweet pup allowed volunteers to brush her and change her collar! Talk about trust! 🐾💕 Delores is a true lover of cozy fluffy beds and keeps her kennel spotless (a neat freak in training)! While she adores her tender moments, she dreams of having a forever home where she can truly flourish. She has great news to share! In her time at the shelter, she’s grown close to her buddy Howard, even discovering the joys of playtime! 🎾🌟 She's open to the idea of having a doggy sibling, but slow introductions will be the key to their success. However, kids might be a bit too much for this shy gal. She’d thrive best in a peaceful adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. Delores would love a fully fenced yard to run around in and soak up the sunshine—just no apartments for this lovely lady! 🏡☀️ The volunteers have so much faith in her potential, and she dreams of a patient, loving home where she can blossom at her own pace. Forest dogs like Delores might have their quirks, but that’s what makes them unique! If you feel that your heart is ready to embrace this gentle soul, don’t wait—take that first step and apply to adopt Delores through the Buddy App! 💌 She can’t wait to meet you and finally have a home to call her own!
