About Adelaide

Meet Adelaide, a sweet little scruffy terrier currently around 2-3 years old. This adorable girl has a loving spirit but starts out timid until she feels safe. Once comfortable, she’s all about cuddling and hanging out with her favorite person. Her foster parents describe her as an absolute sweetheart who enjoys a mellow lifestyle. While she tolerates other dogs and cats, she prefers friends who mirror her calm energy. Older children would suit her best, as she thrives in a quiet home that matches her gentle nature. Although she's still working on housetraining and navigating puppy pads is a bit tricky for her, Adelaide is making progress. She sleeps through the night in her crate and finds comfort being near her person. Initially, she experienced some separation anxiety, but she’s adapting well to a steady routine and trusts that her person will return. A bit of an escape artist, she enjoys free roam in the house rather than confinement. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will quietly fit into your life, Adelaide might be the one for you.
