Meet Cygnet 🖤🐾 | 4-Month-Old Mixed Breed Puppy | 25 lbs
Just a few weeks ago, Cygnet and her sisters were dumped and left for dead in a rural community. Thankfully, Melissa’s Second Chances stepped in to give these girls the future they always deserved. Now, Cygnet is discovering what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family—and watching her confidence grow has been nothing short of incredible.
At around 4 months old and 25 pounds, Cygnet is expected to be a large-breed dog, though we don’t know anything about her parents. What we do know is that she has the sweetest, gentlest heart.
Cygnet can be a little shy when meeting new people or experiencing new places, but she warms up quickly once she realizes she’s safe. Every day in foster care she’s becoming more confident, more curious, and a little more independent.
She absolutely loves having another dog around and has formed a sweet bond with her foster sister. Their play style is gentle and calm, usually wrestling around on the dog bed instead of racing through the house. She would likely enjoy a confident canine companion to help continue building her confidence, though it’s not required.
For such a young puppy, Cygnet is already impressing everyone. She sleeps through the entire night in her crate, is doing fantastic with potty training, and hasn’t had any accidents in her foster home outside of a possible nervous tinkle in brand-new situations 🤭. She’s also been trustworthy when left to free roam a few puppy-proofed rooms with her foster siblings and hasn’t been destructive.
Like many puppies who haven’t experienced much of the world, new experiences come from time in a loving foster. After just a few days, she's learned that car rides aren't scary, and that they lead to fun places like the pet store! She now jumps happily into the car and sits politely during the ride! When left alone, she may get a little nervous, but she’s making wonderful progress and is learning that her people always come back.
Cygnet is the kind of puppy who will blossom with patience, encouragement, and love. Watching her personality unfold has been so rewarding, and her future family will get to experience that same joy as she continues growing into a confident, loyal companion.
Cygnet is looking for:
* 🖤 A loving adopter willing to help her continue building confidence
* 🐶 A friendly dog companion would be a wonderful bonus, but not required
* 🏡 A home committed to raising a large-breed puppy
* 💕 A family ready to give this sweet girl the second chance she’s always deserved
After everything she’s been through, Cygnet is finally learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. Now all she needs is a forever family to help her keep believing it. 🐾
