Sheila is a 4-year-old, small terrier/chihuahua mix with a gentle and sensitive nature. Cautious around new people at first, she thrives in a home where patience and kindness are the norm. Sheila tends to favor calm, feminine energy and has not met many children, but would likely fit best with older, respectful kids who understand how to give her space while she warms up. She does wonderfully with other dogs, especially given thoughtful, slow introductions. While she hasn’t met cats yet, she’s open to a meet-and-greet. Sheila is still working on her house-training, but she can be trusted alone at home outside of a crate. She’s happiest when someone is around, offering companionship and gentle encouragement. Her energy comes in short, lively bursts—she loves running and playing in a secure, fenced yard, turning zoomies into a confidence booster. She’s also practicing leash skills and slowly becoming more confident on neighborhood walks. Sheila isn’t for everyone—she needs someone ready to let her come out of her shell at her own pace, and who understands she’s not an instant lap dog. In the right quiet, predictable home, she’ll grow into a deeply loyal, affectionate companion. Start your journey together! Apply now.
