My name is Genevieve!

Genevieve is a girl who was burdened with a rough start in life. She was removed from an unsanitary hoarding environment with 4 other dogs who were all matted, terrified, unsocialized, and in overall terrible condition. Since joining the CRA family, the rest of the dogs she arrived with have all been adopted and are thriving in forever-families, but Gen is still waiting.

She is hesitant when meeting new people and her uncertainty makes it hard to immediately see the huge personality hiding beneath the surface. Once she bonds with someone, she is loyal, full of love and energy, and downright comical. She bounces like a bunny, prancing around your feet and smiling like a goofball. She is generally not big on constant touch, but she wants to be near her person whenever she can and she is a master splooter.

She had no foundational skills when she came to us, but has come a long way with potty training and is comfortable in a crate. She has made many dog friends during her time with us, but she lacks confidence when initially meeting friends and can be a little... dramatic when she's not sure what a dogs intentions are toward her. We have not seen her interact with cats, but it can be expected that she would be similarly dramatic about meeting cats as well.

Gen is being fostered currently in Chicago and is available for adoption in or within 3 hours of Chicago. Gen's adoption fee includes her spay, up to date vaccines and prevention (flea, tick and heartworm), heartworm negative, and microchip. If you are interested in being considered a forever home for her, please apply directly.
