Ivy is a soft, soulful girl with a gentle heart and a mellow spirit. She may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she slowly blossoms into a loving companion who leans in for affection and enjoys being close to her trusted humans. Once she feels safe, Ivy is happiest curled up beside you as a true lap dog. She has a low-energy, easygoing nature and can comfortably be left alone for a few hours, making her a great fit for a calm household with a steady routine. Ivy does well with other dogs and would benefit from continued socialization with both people and pups to help build her confidence and bring out her full personality. Ivy would do best in a home with dog-savvy children aged 10 and up who can respect her need to adjust at her own pace. With a little time and understanding, she's sure to become a deeply loyal, affectionate companion who thrives on quiet connection and gentle love.
