About Ghibli

Ghibli is a sweet, shy dog with a heartwarming story. At just 15 weeks old, she was part of a litter surrendered to Soul Dog Rescue from the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. For the first three years of her life, Ghibli lived in a shelter, making socialization a challenge. She's a true 'dog's dog,' thriving in the company of other canines, so she needs a home with at least one confident dog to help her feel secure. After dedicating time to building her confidence, Ghibli is now in a foster home where she’s learning to enjoy life outside the shelter. She loves lounging on the couch, going for daily walks, and is low to medium energy. Ghibli is treat-motivated and is mastering commands like sit and stay. She rides well in the car and even made a trip to a brewery recently! While she’s making great progress, Ghibli will thrive with a patient and understanding adopter who can support her as she learns to trust humans. She is cat-friendly and house-trained but does not do well with children. Ghibli will flourish in a calm and loving environment with a friendly dog by her side. We can't wait to see her continue to blossom! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
