My story

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

Name: Shyanne

Age: 12

Breed: Mixed breed

Likes: Attention and cuddles; Being close to her people; Toys (especially tug-of-war); Treats and kibble; Playtime and gentle affection

Dislikes: Not much is known yet; she may get a little overexcited at times but settles with guidance

What would be the ideal home? Shyanne would do well in a loving home that can give her attention, affection, and regular walks. She is suitable for a first-time dog owner and would thrive with positive reinforcement, play, and structure.

Good with other cats? Cats possible with proper introduction

Good with dogs? May possibly live with a calm dog with proper introductions

Good with children? Yes – no age restrictions

Temperament: Super sweet, affectionate, friendly, and playful. Shyanne loves human interaction and enjoys both calm cuddle time and excited play moments.

Motivators? Toys, treats, and kibble

Any commands? Sit

House trained? Unknown

Crate trained? Unknown

How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3–3–3 Rule:
First 3 days: Shyanne may feel overwhelmed and extra excited or unsure. Give her time, space, and a quiet area with her bed, food, water, and toys.
3 weeks: She’ll begin to settle in and show more of her personality. This is a great time to establish routines, boundaries, and continue positive reinforcement training.
3 months: Shyanne should feel comfortable and fully acclimated, understanding her daily routine and expectations.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know?
Shyanne is very affectionate and can get excited when greeting people, but she responds well to calm handling and guidance. She enjoys leash walks and can walk nicely when settled.
