Hi, it’s me… James Your favorite girl with the boy name, the giant heart, and the “tiny cannonball” energy. Now that I’ve had some time to decompress, here’s what the humans have learned about me: Dog-Friendly (with proper intros!) I come in hot because I’m excited, but with slow, structured introductions, I do well with other dogs. House-Trained I know to potty outside—no issues here! Leash Manners: A Work in Progress I’m short, strong, and determined. Think: “enthusiastic bowling ball on a mission.” I just need someone patient to help me slow down. Crate Anxiety (but I do settle) I get stressed at first and may vocalize, but I calm down with time and reassurance. I’m trying hard to figure out this whole safe-home thing. Cats? Not tested yet. Now all I need is my soft landing—a foster or adopter in Maine who can help me continue to come out of my shell. FOR FOSTERS: All supplies AND vet care are fully covered. FOR ADOPTERS: You take over care, and I give you loyalty, wiggles, and love for life. I’ve survived being abandoned on a bench. I made it to Maine. I’m trying so hard. Maybe you’re the person who helps me write the rest of my story.
