Meet Cher! 🌟 This lovely girl, with the heart of gold, is waiting for the right person to help her find her forever home. At around 5-6 years old and weighing between 40-45 pounds, Cher isn’t just any ordinary dog; she’s a black lab mix who radiates a special charm that can melt anyone’s heart! ❤️ Cher adores her daily walks and strolls along gently on a leash, making her the perfect walking buddy! 🚶‍♀️ When she steps outside, it’s like opening a door to a world of possibilities, though she might occasionally have a small case of the jitters. If she feels scared, her instinct is to flee, which makes it essential that she be accompanied in a safe, fenced area until she feels secure enough to explore on her own. 🌳 Cher is a gentle soul who would thrive in a home with another confident, engaging canine companion to help her feel comfortable and cherished. She’s already housebroken and crate trained, ready to become an integral part of someone’s family. 🏠 An environment with older children who can give her the space to bloom would be ideal. And while she’s met a few cats, she was indifferent... kind of like seeing someone in the grocery store and thinking, "Oh, hey!" and then moving on. 🐱 Taking in a shy creature like Cher and showering her with patience, love, and understanding is perhaps one of the most profoundly rewarding experiences one can embark upon. There’s something truly special about witnessing her transformation and the love she has to give back. Cher absolutely deserves that chance! 🌈✨ Cher is located in Youngstown, Ohio, and it’s important to note that potential adopters must be within an hour of the area. ❤️If your heart has been warmed by Cher’s story and you believe you're the patient and loving person she needs, please *apply through the Buddy App* to make her a part of your family! 🥰
