Meet the lovely Cierra! 🌟 This delightful 1.5-year-old spayed lady weighs in at a charming 38 lb. and has a heart full of sweetness just waiting to be unleashed! ❤️ Now, Cierra might be a touch nervous right now, but isn't she just like us during first impressions? She walks beautifully on a leash, though when faced with new thresholds, she might take a moment to pause. A little encouragement goes a long way with her! 🐾 When you offer those gentle hands for pets, she’ll eagerly hop onto your lap for some love, showcasing her affectionate side. And oh, does she adore snacks! 🍪 While still mastering her “sit,” she takes treats ever so gently like the little lady she is. You might even receive a soft kiss if you’re lucky! 😘 Cierra has a playful spirit hidden beneath those initial nerves. She will happily engage in play bows when you're eye-level. And yes, watch out for those adorable zoomies when she’s feeling a bit more confident! 🎉 While she’s not too interested in toys just yet, her potential for happiness is sky-high with a bit of love and patience. Cierra seems to be non-reactive to dogs nearby, so she might just thrive with a fur sibling after a gentle introduction! Just think of the fun and companionship! 🐶 The shelter can be a whirlwind of stress, so remember, it generally takes about three days for dogs like Cierra to decompress and reveal their true, lovable selves. This is crucial for helping her come out of her shell! 🌈 If you want to meet her and witness her gentle transformation, Cierra is ready for her forever home, and let’s not forget to bring along all your family members (but please leave current dogs at home during that first meet!). If you feel that warm connection tugging at your heartstrings to bring Cierra home, apply to adopt her through the Buddy App! This girl is excited for her fresh start!
