Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lambchop is a petite female Toy Poodle, around 1-2 years old, who is just beginning to learn about the world. She is a very shy and sensitive girl and likely did not experience much life outside of a home environment prior to coming into our care.
With the people she sees regularly, Lambchop is starting to relax and show her sweet, gentle nature. She is learning that it’s okay to spend time with people, explore her surroundings, and even play with toys — though she’s still figuring that part out. Each day, she’s gaining a little more confidence and learning how to “be a dog.”
Training Needs
House training – She is familiar with pee pads and is learning to potty outside, and she’s picking this up very well so far.
Leash manners – Walking on leash is very new for her and can feel scary. She is slowly being desensitized and making progress with gentle, patient handling.
Confidence-building – New situations, objects, and experiences will need to be introduced gradually and positively.
Ideal Home
Lambchop will need a calm, quiet home that understands shy dogs and is committed to continuing her confidence-building at her own pace. A home with another small, calm and dog would be best. She is fearful of larger dogs and energetic dogs. Lambchop does best when she can take cues from another dog — especially when it comes to learning how to walk on leash and navigating new experiences.
Lambchop should not be placed in a home with children, as sudden movements and high activity levels cause her stress. Keeping her environment predictable and low-stimulation will help her continue to thrive.
Safety will be extremely important in her new home. When frightened, Lambchop may try to bolt, so a secure setup (careful door management, secure fencing, and proper leash use) will be essential. Lambchop would be well-suited to apartment living.
Lambchop is a tender-hearted young dog who will truly flourish in the right home. If you have a calm household, a friendly small dog, and the patience to help her continue learning that the world can be safe and kind, Lambchop may be the perfect addition to your family.
She will be cat tested, and her listing will be updated once more information is available.
