My name is Dumplin!

Dumpling is a very special girl. She’s a two-year-old hound mix, spayed, and up to date on all vaccinations.

She was found as a puppy, starving and hiding beneath someone’s porch. Since being rescued, Dumpling has worked incredibly hard to heal—not just physically, but emotionally too. Learning to trust the world, and especially people, has taken time. In the past few months, she has truly begun to flourish.

We’ve learned that Dumpling gains confidence from being around other dogs and does best in a home with canine companions. While she enjoys an occasional quiet woodland walk, she much prefers the comfort of her fenced-in yard and a predictable, peaceful routine.

Dumpling is fully house trained and very quiet. She rarely barks unless she needs to communicate something important. She may give a soft grumble if dinner or her favorite bedtime treat is taking too long—her beloved dental stick made with blueberries, and mint.

She is a gentle, sensitive soul. Sweet, shy, and a bit nervous, Dumpling does not enjoy a lot of commotion. Recently, she’s made wonderful progress and has started staying out when company comes over instead of immediately retreating. If she does choose to walk away, she calmly finds a quiet space and simply needs time. She will rejoin when she’s ready—checking on her during these moments only increases her anxiety.

A bustling household with young children would not be the right fit, as loud or unpredictable environments make her uneasy. Dumpling is looking for a calm, understanding home where patience and consistency come naturally.

She is the sweetest girl

, with the cutest toothie smile, and will make a deeply loyal, loving companion for the right family—one who understands that the best bonds are sometimes built slowly.
