Geenie was found as a stray, hiding under a bench at a local school, shivering and fearful. She was brought to the shelter where she's slowly starting to adjust. Geenie is a shy dog who, with patience, will warm up to a loving and understanding home. She needs time to trust her new people but is sweet when she feels safe.
My Ideal Home
Geenie would do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced adopters who can help her overcome her fears. An adult-only household is recommended, as she is easily overwhelmed by children. A slow and gentle approach will be key in helping Geenie feel secure, and she would benefit from a stable routine and low-pressure interactions to build trust.
Good with Kids?
No. Geenie is very fearful and would not be comfortable in a home with children under 13. She needs a quiet and calm environment where she can feel safe and confident.
Good with Other Pets?
Geenie's history with other animals is unknown, but she has shown fear towards other dogs at the shelter. She avoids them and prefers to keep her distance. For now, Geenie should be the only pet in the home, but with slow and controlled introductions, she might be open to canine companionship in the future.
Leash Manners
Geenie is still learning how to walk on a leash. She can be a little nervous and pulls when she sees other dogs. She's improving with time and will need consistent training and gentle guidance to help her feel more confident while walking.
Overall Health
Geenie is healthy overall. She has been treated for internal parasites and is recovering from mild symptoms of CIRDC (Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex). She is doing much better now and is expected to fully recover.
Behavior Determination
Level 3 - Geenie needs an experienced adopter who can help her work through her anxiety and fearful behaviors. She's a shy dog and will need time to adjust to her new home and to trust her new family. A calm, predictable environment will be key to her success.
Other Fun Facts
Geenie is a gentle, sweet dog who will take her time to warm up to new people. Though she's not very playful yet, she's starting to engage more as she feels safe. She's sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, so she would do best in a quiet environment where she can decompress and adjust at her own pace. With patience and time, Geenie will make a loving and loyal companion.
