About Fajita

Fajita is the kind of dog you want to root for. She’s handled more disruption than most—picked up as a stray, bounced between counties, and shuffled back into the shelter, yet she’s made tangible progress every step. Fajita came in extremely timid, pretty much terrified of hands and new people, but patient volunteers saw her turn a corner, first with treats, then with drive-by chin scratches, and eventually into spurts of real playfulness. She’s a sensitive soul, shy but fighting to trust, and she relaxes fastest with another confident, friendly dog around. She's tolerant and fairly independent with other dogs during playgroups but will do best if she can meet any new canine housemates first. With the right environment—a calm home, some patience, and a steady routine—Fajita will thrive into a happy, spunky companion. If you’re looking for a project worth the effort, Fajita is a sweet payoff. Click apply to start the adoption process.
