Ivy came straight from a dire situation at the pound, where her shyness and a bout of kennel cough nearly cost her everything. Now safe and settling in, she stays withdrawn at first, almost melting into the background, but there’s a sweetness underneath that can’t be missed. At only 8 months old, Ivy is finding her feet. Playing with her dog friend is where her playful side shines, chasing and romping with a quiet spark. With a medium golden coat and Chow Chow features, she’s easy on the eyes even when she hides behind her nerves. She is already house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations, ready for a patient hand and a peaceful home. She gets along well with other dogs too. If you’re looking for gentle companionship and the reward of building trust with a shy, deserving young dog, Ivy is waiting in Marina del Rey, CA. Start your journey together! Apply now.
