Apple is a 1-year-old Havanese weighing around 12 lbs who is still learning to feel safe in the world. She was rescued from a hoarding situation, and because of that, she's taking her time figuring out how to navigate life with people. Apple is crate trained and is fine with other dogs and cats, but also likes her own space. With humans, she needs a slower approach. She can become defensive when she feels unsure, so it's important that her adopter understands the value of patience, consistency, and giving her the space to build confidence at her own pace. She tends to bond more quickly with women and thrives in a calm, predictable environment. Apple would do best in a quiet home with someone who can meet her where she is and gently guide her forward. With time and understanding, she has all the potential to grow into a deeply loyal and loving companion. Approved adopters interested in Apple can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info.
