Meet Hornet, a black lab mix with a soft heart and a quiet spirit. She was found as a stray and is still adjusting to life in the shelter, learning what it means to feel safe and cared for. Hornet can be shy and timid, especially around loud noises or sudden movements, and she's still building trust with the people around her. She may take a little time to open up, but with patience, consistency, and kindness, her true personality begins to shine. As she grows more comfortable, Hornet shows just how sweet and gentle she really is. She enjoys being pet, though she prefers a calm and gentle approach rather than too much attention all at once. It's all about going at her pace and letting her come to you. Hornet has a moderate energy level with occasional playful bursts, and she's currently learning the basics-potty training, commands, and how to walk on a leash. She'll need a patient adopter who understands that building confidence and trust takes time. For someone willing to give her the love and reassurance she needs, Hornet has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.
