My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Delorris – A Gentle Soul Who Blossoms with Trust 🐾

📅 Age: Adult (approx. 3–5 years)
🐶 Breed: Shepherd / Collie Mix
⚖️ Weight: ~66 lbs
💉 Status: Fully Vetted & Ready for Adoption

Delorris is a calm, easy-going girl with a quiet sweetness that really shines once she feels safe. She can seem a little sketchy or unsure at first, especially in new situations, but give her a bit of time and she softens into a gentle, affectionate companion. She has a gorgeous coat, a soulful expression, and a clear appreciation for comfort—especially a good, cozy blanket, which she absolutely loves.

She’s generally relaxed and low-key, easy to handle, and more than likely housetrained. Delorris prefers a peaceful environment where she can observe, settle, and come to you for affection on her own terms. She enjoys calm attention like ear scratches and will happily lounge nearby once she’s comfortable.

🐶 Delorris at a Glance:

• Calm, gentle, and easy-going
• Initially shy but very sweet once comfortable
• Likely housetrained
• Low-energy and well-mannered
• Enjoys quiet affection and ear scratches
• Loves blankets and cozy spots
• Patient and tolerant in calm family settings
• Fully vetted

🏡 Delorris’ Ideal Home:

• A calm, low-stress household
• Owners who will give her time to build trust
• A home that appreciates a quiet, gentle companion
• Soft bedding and a cozy place to relax
• Families with respectful children or calm interactions

Delorris is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention—but once she chooses you, it feels special. She’s a peaceful presence with a tender heart, just waiting for the right home to let her truly relax and shine. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion, Delorris may be your perfect match. 🐾❤️We are open to the public Tuesday - Sunday (1PM - 5PM)! No Appointments required!
