AvailableAbout Little Swirl
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Little Swirl lived her whole first year wild on a construction site. She was born to a mama dog that took up residence and interacted with the workers from a young age, but was never leashed or contained or travelled. So she had limited experiences. She found her way to us after management insisted the dogs find homes and be removed from the construction site. It took a couple weeks to catch Little Swirl but we did and surprisingly she settled into a home relatively quickly. She does not like to be acknowledged. She will lay near you and come to you for food/treats, but she generally prefers if you pretend she isn't there. If you acknowledge her then she will leave and lay somewhere further away for a while. This doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy pets and attention on occasion, but she will let you know if she is seeking this small amount of affection by smelling your hand or booping you. Even though she is requesting attention, she still wishes for it to be minimal and it is simply a gift on her part that you should be ever thankful for. She LOVES other dogs and will settle in quickly with them, she loves to play and can play a bit rough but she is learning when she is being too much and dialing it back. She scares easy, so she is quick to squeal over the smallest things, but thank goodness this only happens about once a day. She has done well with cats overall in her foster home and there are no real complaints, but the cats do startle her at times and she will yelp even if they dont touch her. Due to her nervous behavior, she is never going to be a dog who travels well or enjoys walking but we will start trying to work with her and show her it can be a good thing. She also needs to be in a home with no children OR children over 10 years old who understand that she is a dog that prefers her space and will nip if cornered or restrained.She is a really sweet girl and her looks can melt your heart if you dont mind a cuddly dog that doesn't like being touched unless on her terms.
