About Royce

Royce is a dog whose story unfolds beautifully the more time you spend with her. Initially, she was overwhelmed and frightened, likely due to a stressful past. However, with patience and gentle handling, Royce has revealed a thoughtful, cautious, and sweet personality. In recent evaluations, she approached staff with soft wags, walked nicely on a leash, and politely greeted newcomers. She even warmed up enough to accept treats while exploring her surroundings at her own pace, showcasing her playful side as she chased toys joyfully around the room. This gentle soul will thrive with slow introductions and calm guidance, needing understanding people who will allow her to build confidence gradually. While she's not the dog who demands attention right away, there's something incredibly rewarding about earning the trust of a sensitive pup. Royce has already made remarkable strides, and she seems to be only beginning to realize that the world can be kind.
