About Dee Dee

Meet Dee Dee! This playful girl was found alongside her companion, Giulia. She’s ready to find a home where she’ll feel safe and loved. With a big personality and plenty of energy, Dee Dee needs a patient family to help her see that the world is a fun place. Shelter life has been a bit overwhelming for her, and she’ll thrive in an environment where she can adjust at her own pace. Dee Dee would benefit from a predictable routine, daily exercise, and positive reinforcement training to feel more comfortable and confident. She’s eager to learn and would appreciate a person willing to engage her in fun activities that channel her enthusiasm. While Dee Dee arrived with Giulia, her history with unfamiliar dogs is a bit uncertain, so slow introductions to new furry friends are key.

Consider puzzle toys, long walks, and engaging training games to keep her engaged. With patience, structure, and lots of love, Dee Dee is ready to become a playful and devoted companion.
