Meet Savannah

Savannah is a sweet, gentle soul who is still settling in and showing more of her personality each day. While she’s learning that she’s safe and loved, her foster has already discovered that Savannah has a thoughtful and curious nature. She enjoys quiet moments around the house but also loves engaging her mind with fun activities.

One of Savannah’s most endearing traits is her adorable little “grumbles.” She does them when she stretches, when she’s settling in for a cozy nap, and even when she’s feeling a little impatient and wants her person to hurry up! It’s her charming way of communicating and adds so much personality to this lovely girl.

Savannah is a thinker and loves activities that engage her nose and mind. She enjoys games like hide-and-seek, digging in appropriate spots, playing “tug games,” chasing a laser pointer, and simply sitting by the window to watch the world go by. She also responds very well to enrichment activities — when she gets the opportunity to work her brain and explore, she relaxes and settles beautifully afterward.

Because Savannah appears to have traits of a working breed mix, her ideal home will be one that enjoys providing enrichment and mental stimulation. Activities like scent work, puzzle toys, and digging games would be perfect for her. A yard would be wonderful so she can sniff and explore, but it’s not required as long as she receives regular enrichment and opportunities to engage her curious mind.

Savannah may also enjoy having another friendly dog in the home to play with, although she is still getting to know other dogs. Most importantly, she’s looking for a patient, attentive family who understands that decompression takes time and who will help her continue building confidence in her new life.

With the right home, Savannah will blossom into a loyal companion who brings gentle affection, quirky grumbles, and endless curiosity to her forever family.
