About Lettie

Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus My Friends at Wayside say: - I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me. - My previous owner said that I am house-trained. - Once I warm up, I love being near my people! My home needs are: - I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. - Wayside recommends slow introductions to any cats in the home, since they are very interesting to me. - I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. If you already have a dog at home, the Slumber Pawty is required. Please visit our website for additional information. Hi, I'm Lettie, I am a sweet 2 1/2 year old. I am a great size at 50 pounds. I was adopted as a puppy but had to come back when my owner couldn't care for me any longer. I can be a bit of a shy girl when meeting new people. I would do well with patient adopters willing to help me build my confidence, especially around new noises and spaces. Once I warm up, I am super sweet and enjoy being near my people. In my former home I lived with men and women. I also lived with medium and small dogs as well as cats. I did tend to chase the cats. I am housetrained. I was calm and slept in the crate. I had mild car sickness initially but then grew to enjoy car rides. They said I was loving, loyal, very smart, and a cuddler. I have meet other dogs since arriving back at the shelter. I can be fearful of other dogs. After coexisting with new dogs, I approach the other dogs for a few sniffs. I will need slow introductions to polite dogs that are willing to give me space until I am comfortable. I enjoy being in the play yard with other dogs but tend to ignore them after the first intro. If you have another dog, we get to do a Slumber Pawty to make sure we all get along. Do you want to do a test run to see how we all get along? I would like that. Will you stop by soon to say hi? Love, Lettie
