About Happy

Happy is a brave and gentle soul who originally came from a puppy mill. At about 2 years old, this charming Poodle-Shih Tzu mix is learning to navigate her new life away from the breeding environment. While she’s getting more comfortable with human interactions, she’s still a bit timid and will need time to adjust to everyday experiences like walking on a leash and house training. She truly thrives with a patient family who has another dog, as having a canine companion helps her adapt more quickly. A secure fenced yard is recommended to keep her safe while she finds her feet in this new world. Adoption requires understanding her background, celebrating her small victories, and accepting her at her own pace. Happy has a lot of love to give, and with the right home, she can truly flourish. If you're ready to help this sweet girl learn to trust, she would love to meet you. Make her next chapter filled with joy and love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
