She was very much a nervous little girl at first, but she's improved infinitely just in the past couple days! She's a huge sweetheart and has been doing a lot of snuggling and sleeping to decompress. She's great in the crate, although she takes some treats or trickery to get her inside it, but once she's in she's perfect.
She loves her toys but doesn't destroy them, and she has the gentlest nibbles when she gets the zoomies. She can be nervous of men at first but now loves my boyfriend and just needs to sniff someone and have them be gentle to her when they first meet. She's made a couple of dog friends on walks and will just sniff them and wag her tail a ton, so I think she'd be great with another dog as well! She even met my roommate's hamster (through the cage of course) and sniffed her and wagged her tail and seemed super excited-it was adorable. She really just needed out of the shelter and into a loving home that will give her a chance to shine! Her personality is really coming out, and she's just a complete lovebug. I'm very proud of her!
