Ivy is a lovely-natured, young hound mix looking for a family who will spoil her with affection and attention. After raising her puppies in foster, she’s finally ready for her own forever home. Ivy’s temperament is soft and sweet; she soaks up every bit of love offered and rarely barks. She’s especially fond of other dogs, enjoys romping with her foster pals, and is crate trained. Ivy prefers a calm environment, likely doing best outside of a busy city setting, but she should adapt well to a quieter apartment or suburban life. She’s not high-strung—her energy level sits comfortably at low-to-moderate, making her content with daily playtime and lounging with company. Her history shows she’s sensitive: sudden movements can make her cower, a gentle reminder she needs a family willing to offer patience and lots of reassurance. Despite this, she’s quick to trust again and has a resilient spirit. Ivy’s been treated successfully for heartworm and is now in good health, ready to offer loyal companionship. A quick refresher with house training and consistent routines will help her settle in. Ivy gets along well with both dogs and children. She’ll do best with adopters who understand her past and are devoted to making her feel safe. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
