Story
Meet Lisa, a 7-year-old Cairn Terrier mix with a scruffy beige-and-white coat and an expressive little face that tells you exactly how she’s feeling. At just over 21 pounds, she’s a perfectly portable small dog with a big personality.Lisa came to us after struggling with housebreaking for several years. After a full medical workup, our veterinary team discovered and surgically removed multiple bladder stones caused by a long-standing urinary tract infection. She has recovered well from surgery, her follow-up culture was negative, and she’s feeling much more comfortable. Going forward, she’ll benefit from regular bathroom breaks, plenty of fresh water, and periodic urine checks with her future veterinarian.Because house soiling was part of her history for several years, Lisa will need a patient, understanding adopter committed to positive reinforcement and consistency. Setting her up with a predictable routine, close supervision, and possibly a small, easy-to-clean confinement area when unsupervised will help her succeed.Personality-wise, Lisa is a sensitive, thoughtful girl who appreciates when people move at her pace. When meeting new friends, she may show a little stress at first, but once she feels comfortable, she seeks out scritches, leans in sweetly, and even offers her belly. She enjoys exploring rooms at her own speed, sniffing enrichment toys like snuffle mats and puzzle feeders, and taking leisurely walks (she prefers to stop and smell the roses rather than power-walk the block).Lisa would likely do best with older, dog-savvy children who understand canine body language and “consent to pet.” She previously lived with other pets but may prefer a calmer environment now; if there’s a resident dog in the home, a dog meet will be required to ensure a good match.This wiry-haired sweetheart is looking for a calm, compassionate home that will advocate for her, respect her signals, and celebrate her small victories. With patience and love, Lisa will reward her people with gentle affection, loyal companionship, and the quiet joy of a little dog who finally feels safe and understood.If you are interested in adopting Lisa, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
