Story
Just like the flower she’s named after, Dandelion is a little delicate, a little shy, and absolutely beautiful in her own special way. This sweet Jack Russell mix is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She tends to feel more comfortable around women at first, but with patience, kindness, and a little time, we believe Dandelion can build trust and thrive in the right home. Once she feels secure, her gentle personality begins to shine through. Dandelion is looking for someone who will let her move at her own pace, celebrate her small victories, and show her what it means to be truly loved. If you have a calm home, a caring heart, and room for a shy girl to blossom, Dandelion may be the perfect addition to your family. She deserves a chance to leave shelter life behind and discover the comfort and happiness of a forever home. Could you be the one to help Dandelion bloom? Dandelions's $200 Adoption Fee is a great deal. She is spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed & current on monthly heartworm preventative. Dandelions's estimated month of birth is 4/2025.
