Story
Hi hooman! My name is Nilla! Like Nilla Wafers… because I’m sweet, tiny, and apparently made of approximately 11 pounds of fluff and feelings.
I’m a 5-month-old merle Mini Bernedoodle, and I have an important announcement:
I am a VERY good puppy. I am just… currently experiencing some technical difficulties with confidence… but I’m getting there!!
When I first got to my foster home, I was pretty sure humans were suspicious. Like, “Hmmmm… you seem nice, but I’m going to need approximately 60 business days to think about this.” 👀
I didn’t trust people much at all, but my foster family has been teaching me that humans can be safe and kind. And guess what?! I’m starting to believe them! I’m slowly learning to trust the people I live with, and I’m even getting braver around visitors.
My foster brother is my FAVORITE. He’s basically my personal canine life coach. He shows me what to do, where to go, and how to be a dog. I definitely need a confident, friendly dog sibling in my forever home because having a doggy buddy makes me feel SO much braver.
Kids? I think older, dog-friendly kids could be great! But they’ll need to understand that I’m a little nervous and sometimes need some space.
Now, let’s discuss my greatest nemesis:
THE LEASH.
I do not understand it.
It touches me.
It follows me.
It expects me to WALK.
Absolutely outrageous. 😳
I’m working on it, but leashes still make me pretty nervous. A securely fenced yard would be AMAZING because then I can run, zoom, sniff, play, and generally conduct important puppy business without being attached to the scary string thing.
I’m already microchipped, spayed, and up to date on all my preventatives, so I’ve checked all the responsible-puppy boxes.
Underneath these nerves is a sweet little puppy who REALLY wants to figure out this whole “being a dog” thing. I’m just going to need a little help, and maybe a confident dog sibling, and snacks…definitely snacks.
Oh—and I should mention: I absolutely love a nice soft couch. It is my favorite invention of all time. I will happily curl up, get cozy, and supervise your life from maximum comfort.
Also, I’m proud to report that I sleep through the night in my crate like a very responsible puppy. I go in calmly, settle down nicely, and snooze peacefully until morning like a pro.
Love,
Nilla — future professional good girl, current amateur chicken.
