This group of sweet dogs came from a rough start, and because of that, they can be a bit timid when meeting new people or situations. That shyness isn't a flaw--it's simply their way of learning that the world can be kind. With patience, consistency, and plenty of TLC, these dogs make incredible progress. Watching them build confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of loving them. Small moments--like choosing to come closer, offering a tail wag, or settling in for a quiet nap--mean everything and show just how far they've come. They're looking for calm, understanding homes where they can continue to grow at their own pace. In the right environment, they become deeply loyal, gentle companions who form strong bonds with their people. If you believe love is built slowly and trust is earned with kindness, one of these brave pups may be exactly who you've been waiting for Oh, sweet little Barkenstock, this little lady has a very sweet personality, she may be shy at first but once she warms up, she is an awesome little lady. She is very happy go lucky, and don't let her fool you, she does have the bouncy energy but will calm down to be loved. She is 2 years old and 13 pounds. She gets along with other dogs just fine, but we are unsure about how she would do with cats and kids.
