Meet Hope. Hope is a gentle, sensitive girl who needs time to feel secure. She may seem shy at first, especially in new situations, but with patience and a calm demeanor, she opens up to reveal her loyal heart. Once she trusts you, Hope forms a strong bond and truly shines. With a medium energy level, she's happy to enjoy playtime and enrichment, but is perfectly content relaxing by your side. Hope thrives on affection; praise and gentle pets help her feel confident and secure. It's important to note that Hope exhibits some resource guarding behaviors, which means she’ll need an experienced home that can provide clear boundaries and positive guidance. She would do best with dog-savvy children aged 13 and up, who can respect her space. Unfortunately, she does not get along with cats. With a family that values patience and trust-building, Hope will blossom into a devoted companion. She's waiting for someone who can see the beautiful potential behind her shy exterior.
