To no fault of her own, Lark is still learning how to be a dog. Lark was a breeder release, and most of her life has been spent in a kennel. She does not know how to use stairs, she will not take treats from a hand, she does not know how to walk on leash, and she is still learning to trust. When Lark first came to us, all she knew how to do was spin in circles, because that was the only movement she could do in her crate at the breeding facility. With all that being said, Lark is trying so hard to want to be a part of the family. Lark has spent her whole life in a cage, used to breed puppies, and she deserves the chance to receive and give love!
Ideal Family: Lark needs a patient, loving and quiet home to help her learn what it is like to be a part of the family. Living in a home is new to her so she will need gentle loving guidance from her family to learn this.
Likes: Car rides, being held, sleeping in bed with her humans
Age: 8 years old
Breed: Bichon
Weight: 10 lbs
Kid-friendly: Unknown, but probably ok with calmer, considerate children.
Dogs: Yes! Lark has done great with other small dogs she has been exposed to.
Cats: Unknown, probably ok, as she is very timid.
Crate trained: Lark is currently fed in a crate, but otherwise does not like being crated.
Potty trained: Yes, but needs to go out every three hours.
Health concerns: None.
Adoption fee: $475
