Tracy is part of a special group who does best with gentle, patient guidance as they continue learning about the world beyond their immediate circle. She is very dog-friendly and takes comfort in the presence of other dogs, often looking to them for cues and confidence. With people, she is shy, especially in new situations, and will benefit from a calm environment, predictable routines, and a slow, respectful approach. Once he feels safe, his personality begins to emerge in small, rewarding ways. An adopter who understands that trust takes time-and who can offer consistency, kindness, and positive reinforcement-will be setting her up for success. A home with a confident resident dog would be a wonderful bonus and encouraged. Tracy weighs 12 pounds.
