Mama arrived at the rescue with a surprise: she brought ten puppies with her, all of whom have since found homes. Previously living in a shed with minimal contact from people, Mama is still figuring out what it means to trust humans. She does well with other dogs—especially playful or calm companions around her size—and would thrive in a home that already has an easygoing dog to help coax her out of her shell. Toys and games like tug of war with smaller pups are her favorite, but she can be nervous around larger, more forceful dogs. A meet and greet with any resident dogs will be part of the adoption process to make sure everyone gets along. Though house trained and willing to kennel up, Mama still finds humans intimidating. She will take treats from a gentle hand and tolerate someone sitting quietly near her, but she isn't ready to be petted just yet. The rescue’s goal is to find her a foster home, ideally one open to adopting her down the line, so she can practice building trust and learning new social skills away from the kennel hustle. Mama is spayed and up to date on all standard vaccinations, including rabies, bordetella, DHPPv, and heartworm preventative. Born on January 1, 2018, she's a Capricorn—which means she's likely got a stubborn streak and a strong sense of loyalty once she bonds. Ready to take it slow and watch her confidence grow?
