About Dove

Dove is a lovely 2-year-old, 55-lb Flat-Coated Retriever mix needing a cozy home to truly shine. Since her arrival at the shelter, she has been quite timid, showing signs of stress with pacing and whining. However, she’s made amazing strides, starting to take treats gently and walking out of her kennel with ease. Recently, Dove approached the staff with a wagging tail, eager for attention and affection. Her calm demeanor with another dog, despite that dog’s inappropriate behavior, shows her gentle nature. Dove is ready for a loving environment where she can decompress, build confidence, and reveal her true sweet personality. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
