Loretta had a rough start in life, spending most of her days confined to a crate alongside her siblings. When she first came to us, she was terrified of nearly everything and didn’t even know how to play with toys. But in a short amount of time, this sweet girl has made incredible progress. Loretta now loves playing in the yard with her doggie siblings. She’s respectful of cats, curious about chickens, and happiest when she’s near her people. During the workday, you’ll usually find her lounging quietly under my desk, and in the evenings she loves cuddling up on the couch. She’s doing wonderfully on leash and is learning how to stay calm when passing barking neighborhood dogs. Loretta already knows how to sit and patiently wait for her food, and she takes treats ever so gently. She sleeps beautifully through the night and has even mastered the occasional lazy weekend sleep-in with us. She is also potty-trained. While crates are still hard for her (understandably), she sleeps peacefully in her own dog bed next to ours. She’s past the puppy chewing phase, and although she may cry briefly when left alone, she settles down quickly with her doggie siblings nearby. We believe Loretta would thrive in a home with another confident dog who can continue showing her the ropes. She’s still shy around men, but with patience, kindness, and plenty of treats, she’s learning that men can be safe and loving. Loretta is such a special girl with so much love to give. She just needs a patient family willing to continue helping her blossom into the confident, happy dog she’s becoming. Put in an application at eapl.com Her adoption fee is $375
