Meet Taryn – Sweet, Shy, and Full of Potential Age: 1.5 years Breed: Mixed Breed Energy Level: Moderate to High House-trained: Yes Good with: Medium/Large Dogs Best in a Home Without: Cats Needs: Slow introductions, confidence building, daily exercise Taryn is a young and endearing pup who’s learning how good life can be. She’s shy around new people but incredibly loyal and affectionate once she warms up. In her foster home, she’s shown just how intelligent and eager to please she is—learning quickly and responding beautifully to gentle guidance. She gets along wonderfully with her foster siblings, including a playful younger dog and a senior diabetic dog she adores. Taryn thrives with other dogs around; she seeks their attention, snuggles them often, and brings out the best in them. A home with another friendly dog would be ideal for her. Taryn is calm indoors, well-behaved, and has excellent house manners—she even uses the doggy door like a pro. She enjoys hiking, swimming, and playtime, and while she has plenty of energy, she’s also quick to settle down and relax by your side. She walks well on a leash, knows basic commands (Sit, Come, Leave it), and is continuing to build her confidence in new situations. From her foster: "Taryn is really sweet and just wants to be loved. She follows me and the other dogs around, loves to snuggle, and has been so easy to live with. She was instantly house-trained and has done great with training. She needs someone who will be patient with her shyness, but otherwise, she’s the perfect companion." Taryn would thrive in a calm, loving home with an experienced owner and another dog to show her the ropes. Once she trusts you, she’s all in—affectionate, loyal, and always close by. This sweet girl is ready for her forever home where she can feel safe, stay active, and be deeply loved.
