Baby Girl was found as a stray and brought to ACC after a kind neighbor helped get her to safety. She's a sweet, wiggly youngster with a waggy tail and a gentle way about her-she warmed up quickly with handlers, leaned into affection, and happily soaked up attention. New environments can make her a little timid at first (especially once familiar people leave), but with a few minutes and a calm approach, she starts to relax and show her affectionate, playful side.
My Ideal Home
Baby Girl would love a patient home that can give her time to decompress and build confidence with new routines, new places, and new people. She'll thrive with gentle introductions, positive reinforcement, and plenty of appropriate puppy enrichment-think short training sessions, fun walks, and cozy downtime. A family that understands "slow and steady" at first will see her blossom quickly.
Good with Kids?
Yes, with supervision and respectful handling. She was very tolerant with young children (ages 3-10), allowing gentle touching and even licking their hands. Because she can be timid in new situations, calm, dog-savvy kids who can give her space when she needs it are ideal.
Good with Other Pets?
No history available. With her friendly, social demeanor, she may do well with a calm resident dog after slow, supervised introductions. As always, decompression and gradual meet-and-greets will help set everyone up for success.
Leash Manners
Nice on leash with a loose, easy walking style. She may be a bit skittish in busy hallways at first, but she settles quickly once she's moving with a trusted handler.
Overall Health
Healthy overall. She has some mild skin irritation/allergies being treated and is recovering well after her spay surgery.
Behavior Determination
Level 1. Baby Girl may be timid at first in new environments, especially after transitions, and benefits from slow approaches, gentle handling, and confidence-building with treats and enrichment. With patience, she warms up quickly and enjoys affection.
Other Fun Facts
• Total sweetheart who leans into pets once she feels safe
• Playful, bouncy energy without getting overly wound up
• Very "wiggly" and affectionate when she's comfortable
• Ready for a fresh start with someone who'll help her feel secure
