Meet Shortcake!
Shortcake is a young, small terrier mix with a tender heart and a quiet curiosity about the world. She didn’t have much early socialization, so she’s still learning that humans can be kind, predictable, and safe. While she’s not quite comfortable with hands-on handling yet, Shortcake makes progress every single day—and it’s wonderful to watch her confidence slowly bloom. Shortcake is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let her move at her own pace and celebrate the small victories. She’ll benefit from working with a trainer who can help her learn the basics of life in a human world and continue building her trust and confidence through positive reinforcement.
We will require another gentle, social dog in the home to show her the ropes and help her feel secure. With proper introductions, Shortcake could likely learn to live peacefully with cats as well. Shortake would likely not do well with kids so a child free home would be ideal for her.
Shortcake may not be the kind of dog who runs up for cuddles right away—but for the right family, earning her trust will be incredibly rewarding. If you have patience, compassion, and room in your heart for a shy pup learning to shine, Shortcake just might be your perfect match. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Instagram (@nwdogproject) for updates! If you would like to be considered as Shortcake's forever home, be sure to submit an adoption application on our website!
Adoption fee includes; spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, dewormer, fecal testing, flea/tick prevention and age-appropriate vaccines.

Dogs : Yep!
