Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Piñon – From Wallflower to Braveheart
Young • Female • Australian Kelpie Mix • Perfect Pint-Sized Pal
When Piñon first arrived, the world felt like a really big, scary place. But thanks to the shelter’s Shy Dog Program, this gentle girl is blossoming more every single day — and it’s honestly a joy to watch. Piñon is sweet, soft-natured, and wonderfully petite. She walks politely on leash with no pulling, and her confidence has grown so much that she’s been heading out on Doggie Day Outs with her favorite volunteer. Their glowing report? She now hops into the car (and prefers riding shotgun like a tiny CEO), gets along beautifully with his smaller dogs, and has had zero accidents in the house (she is potty-trained according to her previous adopters). Total good-girl energy. Inside the home she’s calm and peaceful, soaking up the quiet. She can still be shy if hands come toward her too quickly, so she’s looking for someone who will move at her pace and let trust build naturally. Give her a little patience and a lot of kindness, and Piñon will give you her whole brave, tender heart in return.
