Biscotti is a 5-year-old dachshund mix weighing 12 lbs, with a gentle and sensitive nature. She's still learning how to feel comfortable socializing around humans and can be a bit shy at first. Biscotti does best with a slow, calm approach, allowing her to build trust at her own pace. She enjoys resting and relaxing, especially in quiet environments where she feels safe. Biscotti gets along well with other dogs, and they've been a big help in building her confidence and social skills. She tends to prefer smaller dogs her size and would do best in a home with another confident dog to continue guiding and reassuring her. A securely fenced-in yard is also important so she can safely explore and gain confidence in her surroundings. With patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle encouragement, Biscotti will continue to grow more comfortable over time. She would benefit from training to help her learn how to walk on a leash and become more at ease with grooming routines. Biscotti will need to go home with a secure, properly fitted harness to help keep her safe as she continues learning leash skills. Biscotti is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the time and space she needs to blossom and truly come out of her shell. A meet and greet at the shelter will be required to ensure it is a good fit for both Biscotti and her future family. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
