Candy is a 1-year-old Beagle/Jack Russell mix, weighing about 30 pounds. She's spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. After a brief stay in a loving foster home, she returned to the shelter, where her shy nature can be a challenge. Candy learned to ring a bell to indicate when she needs to go outside, showing how clever she is. Being in a new environment can be overwhelming for her; she thrives in a calm setting. Candy seeks a patient adopter who will allow her to acclimate at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she turns into an affectionate companion. She loves to play, cuddle, and is gentle with those around her, revealing her true character. Candy also gets along well with other dogs, making her a great choice for a home with a friendly dog companion. If you understand the importance of establishing trust over time, Candy is eager to meet you. While she might not be the first to greet you, she has the potential to be your constant, loving shadow.
