Blair came to us as a stray and has been slowly finding her footing in the shelter. She's a sensitive, gentle girl who can feel overwhelmed by new environments, but with time and patience her sweet personality starts to shine. On walks, she checks in with her handler, takes treats gently, and enjoys quiet moments of connection. Blair prefers to move at her own pace and does best when she's allowed to approach people and situations on her terms.
My Ideal Home
Blair would thrive in a calm, predictable home with an adopter who understands shy or fearful dogs. A quieter environment, consistent routine, and positive reinforcement will help her continue to build confidence. She'll do best with someone who is patient, observant of canine body language, and willing to give her the space and time she needs to feel safe.
Good with Kids?
No. Blair is recommended for a home without children due to her fearful nature and sensitivity to handling.
Good with Other Pets?
Blair has shown neutral behavior around other dogs and is able to disengage on her own, though slow and thoughtful introductions are recommended. Her history with other pets is unknown.
Leash Manners
Blair walks politely on leash with mild pulling at times. She often checks in with her handler and may pause to seek reassurance or treats, especially in busy areas.
Overall Health
Healthy overall. Recovering well from a previous respiratory illness and cleared for surgery.
Behavior Determination
Level 3. Blair displays fearful behaviors such as a low body posture, tucked tail, and flinching with contact when overwhelmed. She needs a home that will respect her boundaries, avoid forcing interactions, and focus on gradual confidence-building through positive experiences.
Other Fun Facts
Blair enjoys gentle pets once she feels comfortable and will sometimes surprise you with playful bursts of energy. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, she has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.
