Story
Meet Mouse!
Mouse is a sweet Chihuahua mix with a story that speaks to her resilience. She came to us as a stray, doing everything she could to keep herself and her five puppies safe. Thanks to her dedication, all of her puppies have found loving homes. Now it's Mouse's turn. Over the past month, Mouse has made incredible progress as she's learned that people can be kind and that she no longer has to live in survival mode. Every day, she becomes a little braver. She gets SO excited when her favorite people come to take her for walks or spend time with her, and watching her personality slowly blossom has been incredibly rewarding.
While Mouse has come a long way, she's still learning that affection and gentle handling are safe. Being loved is a new experience for her, and she needs a patient family willing to let her move at her own pace. Experience with shy or fearful dogs would be a wonderful bonus, but most importantly, she's looking for someone who understands that trust is earned through consistency, kindness, and time. Mouse has done well with other respectful dogs who allow her space to investigate and don't pressure her to play or interact before she's ready. She previously shared a room with another young female dog that she seemed to really enjoy, so a calm, well-mannered canine companion could be a great match.
Because she's still building confidence, Mouse would likely do best in a home without young children. Respectful teens may be a good fit. Her history with cats is unknown. Mouse isn't looking for perfection she's looking for someone willing to see the amazing dog she's becoming. In return, you'll have the privilege of watching a once-frightened little survivor discover what it truly means to feel safe, loved, and home. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Instagram (@nwdogproject) for updates! If you would like to be considered as Mouse's forever home, be sure to submit an adoption application on our website!
