About Strudel

Strudel is finding her way to a new home after coming from a challenging background in a puppy mill. She's shy and will need time to adapt to her new family and surroundings. Strudel has spent her time at Wayside Waifs enjoying the company of other dogs but isn’t familiar with human interactions, so she may feel overwhelmed at first. It’s crucial that her adopters are patient, as she may take a while to adjust, especially to activities like walking on a leash. Her ideal home would include a confident dog to help guide her through this transition. If there are children under 9, a meet-and-greet would be necessary, as she tends to be nervous around loud noises and new faces. A martingale collar is required for her safety, and she may benefit from crate training as she learns to trust her new family. Strudel’s journey to discovering love and comfort may take some time, but it can be incredibly rewarding. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
