This gorgeous girl is Latte, a 1.5-year-old, 42-pound Border Collie mix with a gentle soul who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. After being shuffled between shelters and experiencing adoption returns, Latte is understandably timid and cautious with new people and situations. Despite her fears, Latte’s sweet nature shines through. During a recent evaluation with a trainer, it became clear that she deeply craves affection — she’s just unsure how to trust it yet. In only a short time, she began approaching the trainer for pets and reassurance, showing just how much potential she has to blossom with patience and encouragement. Latte is looking for a calm, compassionate home with another confident dog who can help show her the ropes and build her confidence. She’ll thrive with someone who understands shy dogs and is willing to give her the time, consistency, and gentle guidance she needs. With love, patience, and continued training support, we truly believe Latte will grow into a happy, confident, and affectionate companion. The trainer is also available to provide guidance and help her future family set her up for success. If you'd like to meet Latte, please apply at scroungydogs.com.
