After three months in a crowded shelter, she's learning what it means to feel safe and cherished in her foster home. Weighing about 30 pounds, she’s not one to leap into your lap immediately; trust is earned with her. Each little victory, from accepting her name to giving sweet kisses, feels monumental.

Sapphire enjoys gentle walks, sunny lounging, and engaging playtimes. At home, she’s quiet and well-mannered, rarely barking and understanding that outside is for potty. Sapphire is looking for a patient family that values her shy nature and will allow her to thrive at her own pace. An ideal situation would include a confident dog to guide her, calm surroundings, and older children who respect her boundaries. With time and encouragement, she will flourish into the loving companion you've always wanted. This shy but loving pup is waiting for the right family to help her discover a joyful life.
