Introducing Coffee! ☕️ This lovely girl is a beautiful 8-month-old female Shepherd mix, weighing in at a gentle 41 pounds. Just imagine the adventures waiting for her in a loving forever home! 🏡 Due to some past hurdles, this sweet pup found herself in a risky situation at a shelter, and she’s now on a journey to find her perfect match. Let’s be clear: she will shine in the right environment, and that starts with YOU! Coffee initially arrived a bit timid and terrified, but with patience and understanding, she has blossomed into a sweet and loving girl who forms tight bonds once she feels safe. ❤️ She looks up to her human for guidance and confidence and shows incredible resilience—despite her fears, she’s never been aggressive. It’s important to know that Coffee thrives around other dogs; they help her navigate her world, allowing her to learn and grow in confidence. 🐕✨ Whether playing with large dogs or observing their behavior, she finds comfort in their company. Now, let’s talk about her quirks: Coffee is a playful puppy at heart, but due to her past, she needs a little extra love and patience. She can be shy in new situations and prefers to have a safe space when it’s time to do her business. Therefore, a fenced yard (5ft or higher) is a MUST for her new life. 📏 🚪 She’s making strides in potty training, but initially, she may get a little nervous. With time and trust, she’ll surely find her rhythm. Coffee does great in her crate, using it as her safe haven, but she also loves to snuggle up in bed with her humans when trust is built. Cuddle alert! 😍🚨 Despite some initial hesitations, she’s slowly learning to enjoy car rides—just give her time to settle in! Coffee is searching for a dedicated family that understands her needs. She will require some work, especially in overcoming her fears, but the loyalty and love she has to offer will be immeasurable. This affectionate pup is eager for a second chance at a joyful life filled with love and adventure! 🌈✨ Are you looking for a sweet companion who could use a little guidance on her path to confidence?
