She is still adjusting, but her playful side comes out when other dogs are near—she enjoys their company and seems eager to learn from them. While she’s not house trained yet, Evie is food-motivated and responds well to gentle encouragement. Her vaccinations are current, and her resilience is clear, even after her rocky start.
