Meet the enchanting Livia Alastair! This sweet soul is a delightful approximately 3-year-old retriever/hound mix, weighing in at about 15 lbs of pure love. Now, let’s talk about what makes Livia so special! She may be blind in one eye, but that only adds to her charm, not to mention her heartwarming tenderness. 💖 Livia is a little shy, and it’s not because of anything debilitating—it's just a reflection of the tough start she had coming from a hoarding situation where she missed out on that all-important puppy socialization. 🌼 With some love and patience, she’s on a journey to building her confidence in a nurturing environment. Wouldn't it be magical to support her in finding her way in the world? Livia would thrive in a forever home where she can work on her confidence with her humans and maybe even her furry friends too! This darling girl adores other dogs, so having a fellow pup as a strong leader in her new home will be a winning combination for her growth. 🐾 Livia is sweet and submissive, yet she needs a bit of guidance. For this reason, a home without children is recommended, as little ones can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for shy dogs like her. Instead, Livia needs a calm, loving touch that progresses gently but surely! 🐶 While it might seem easier to keep shy dogs at home, the real magic happens when they take little steps into the big wide world. Livia deserves to explore, learn, and grow, and she’ll come with full access to our behavior and training program to help her along this path. Plus, a fenced-in yard would be perfect for her adventures! 🌳 Don't forget, this sweetheart is up-to-date on shots, current with preventatives, and microchipped, ready to join your family! For an adoption fee of $250, you will not just gain a remarkable companion but will also receive a free six-week obedience class and lifetime behavior support through our Project REWARD program with trainer Ashley Reum. Now doesn't that sound incredible?
