Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus My Friends at Wayside say: - I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me. - I've been described as a velcro dog when once I warm up! - I love to get all the cuddles and pets! My home needs are: - I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. - Wayside requires bringing the whole family out to meet me before adoption so everyone can be sure they are comfortable with my enthusiasm for life! - It's recommended I go home to a quiet home environment. Hi there, I’m Newby! I’m a 1-year-old shepherd mix with a soft heart and a whole lot of love just waiting to be shared. I can be a little shy when we first meet... new people and new places can feel a bit overwhelming for me. However, if you give me some time, patience, and kindness, I promise I’ll come out of my shell in no time! And when I do? I turn into a total velcro dog. Once I trust you, I’ll want to be right by your side through it all. I love being near my people, whether that means leaning in for pets, curling up for cuddles, or just quietly following you around the house. Your presence makes me feel safe, and I’ll happily soak up all the affection you have to give. I also enjoy getting out for leisurely walks where I can spend time with you and take in the world at my own pace. I’m not in a rush, though, I just like being together. If you already have a dog at home, I’d love to meet them first to make sure we’re a good match. I like having dog friends, I just appreciate a proper introduction! What I’m really looking for is someone who understands that the best things take a little time. With patience and love, I’ll blossom into the most loyal, affectionate companion you could ask for. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive girl who will stick by your side and fill your days with love, I think we could be something really special. Love, Newby
