My story

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

Hi friends! I’m Rajini — a sweet, gentle dog with a thoughtful soul and the cutest tiny teefs you’ve ever seen. I may be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, my soft personality and quiet charm really shine.

I’m a smart girl and fully potty trained to use pee pads were no problem — nailed it! I love calm routines, gentle encouragement, and cozy moments with my people. I’d do best in a peaceful home with another canine friend (big or small) to play with, and probably no cats as I like to chase them. Ideally no kids, teens are ok, but I'm still nervous and unsure at times, so need humans that understand my need for space and comfort.

Did I mention I LOVE to play ball?? Yep Fetch is the next best thing to food and treats in my world. I retrieve and drop it for you, I'll sit and wait till your ready to throw it again, and if you forget, I'll give you a gentle "woof" to remind you I'm waiting. We can do that all day if you have time, I won't mind! I'm not very comfortable outside yet so leash skills will need to be something you help me with, but playing in a back yard that's fenced is really fun! (Especially if there is a ball).

If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who will reward your patience with deep trust and endless love, I just might be your girl.

Ready to fall for me? I promise I’ll steal your heart — one tiny toof at a time 🐾💛
