About Deva

Deva is about a year old, weighing in at 38 lbs. She comes across as shy and skittish, especially in unfamiliar settings or where there’s a lot of noise or commotion. But you’ll find a truly affectionate side to her once she feels comfortable and safe. Deva finds her rhythm with other calm, well-mannered dogs and really comes out of her shell in their company. She’s not at ease around toddlers, so she’s looking for a quieter home—ideally adults and other dogs help bring out her best. A large backyard is a must for Deva, since she’s scared of walking on a leash. She needs someone who understands her nerves, and who can offer the patience and quiet needed for her to show her gentle, loving nature. In the right home, Deva will reward steady commitment with devotion and those small, quiet moments of joy that come with watching her confidence grow. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
