Candy came to the shelter as a stray after being found tied up, and her past is a bit of a mystery. She's a gentle, sensitive soul who is still figuring out the world around her. Candy tends to be quiet and reserved at first, but with a slow, patient approach she shows her sweet side and happily accepts treats and soft affection.
My Ideal Home
Candy would thrive in a calm, predictable home with adopters who understand shy or fearful dogs and are willing to go at her pace. A low-traffic environment and consistent routine will help her build confidence. Positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and time to decompress will go a long way in helping Candy feel safe and secure.
Good with Kids?
No young children. Candy is best suited for a home without kids under 5, as sudden movements and noise can be overwhelming for her. She may be open to meeting older, calmer children.
Good with Other Pets?
Candy has shown little reaction to other dogs in the shelter and tends to ignore them. Slow, thoughtful introductions are recommended. There is no known history with cats.
Leash Manners
Candy walks calmly on leash with loose leash manners. She may move slowly and can appear cautious in new environments, but she does not show pulling or reactivity.
Overall Health
Healthy overall.
Behavior Determination
Level 2. Candy is fearful in new situations and sensitive to handling, so she'll do best with adopters who can provide patience, structure, and confidence-building support.
Other Fun Facts
Candy is very food motivated and gently takes treats from your hand. She enjoys sniffing around her environment and shows her trust in small ways, like staying close once she feels comfortable. With time and kindness, this sweet girl has the potential to truly blossom.
