Babette in New Cumberland has a heart that's just waiting to bloom. This lovely chocolate Havanese has soulful eyes that reflect her gentle and quiet nature. When she first arrived at her foster home, Babette was reserved, struggling to adjust to her new surroundings. However, with the patience and kindness of her foster family, she’s started to come out of her shell. Babette isn’t the type to rush to the door when you come home; instead, she prefers to quietly observe from her fuzzy donut bed, soaking in the comforts of her environment at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she cherishes gentle belly rubs in the morning and enjoys the coziness of sleeping in a big bed with her humans. This sweet girl gets along with calm and respectful dogs but can be overwhelmed by pushy pups. A gentle resident dog would be a fantastic companion for her, providing the encouragement she needs. While Babette is still getting used to leash walking, a securely fenced yard is essential. She enjoys outdoor time and is gradually making progress with housetraining, although she may have the occasional accident as she adapts to new places. One of her adorable habits is playing with a crinkle toy, giving her a little shake and toss every day. She's very food motivated, which will be helpful for her training. Babette’s ideal home is tranquil and patient, where her adopters understand that trust takes time to develop. Fast companions are not her style; she needs someone who can appreciate the special bond that grows slowly, and if given that chance, she will offer unconditional love in return. As her foster mom beautifully says, "Winning her heart will take some time, but the reward will renew your faith in the power of patience, love, and acceptance." If you believe in nurturing relationships, Babette may be your perfect match. Her adoption fee is $350, and she is currently in New Cumberland, PA. Click apply to start the adoption process.
