Story
Hello! My name is Woolly. 🐶🤍 I’m a 2-year-old girl, and I weigh about 15 kg (33 lbs). I was rescued from a municipal shelter just before I was scheduled to be euthanized. Unfortunately, no one knows what my life was like before I arrived at the shelter, but I’m so grateful that I was given a second chance. When I first arrive somewhere new, I can be a little cautious around unfamiliar people and environments. But it doesn’t take me long to warm up! Once I feel comfortable, my playful side comes out and I’ll happily come over with a big “Let’s play!” 🥰
I really love people and get along well with all kinds of people, young and old, men and women. Even with someone I’ve just met, I can quickly become comfortable enough to walk over for some gentle pets. I’ve never shown aggression toward people. I also like meeting other dogs. When I see a dog friend on a walk, I’m usually curious and interested and will approach carefully to say hello. Since I’m a medium-sized girl at around 15 kg, I think I would be happiest as the only dog in my forever home, where I can have plenty of love and attention all to myself. 🤍 I’m pretty good at walking, too! I may walk a little ahead of you, but I don’t pull excessively, and I’m happy to follow your lead.
I am a curious girl, though! 😅 If I spot something interesting on the ground—especially food or a tasty-looking bone—I may try to pick it up and put it in my mouth. So please keep a close eye on me during walks and help me learn what is safe to eat and what isn’t. I’m also still working on my recall. If you call my name outside, I don’t always come running back just yet, so I’ll need some fun recall practice using treats. Luckily, I LOVE food, so I think we’ll make a pretty good training team! 🥰 Cars don’t bother me much, but unexpected things like large banners or signs flapping in the wind can sometimes startle me. I’m comfortable wearing my harness and leash, but there are a few things I’m not a fan of. I don’t really enjoy baths, ear cleaning, or being suddenly grabbed. I also don’t like wearing diapers or hats. Please give me time to get used to these things slowly and gently rather than forcing me. With patience and positive experiences, I can learn to feel more comfortable.
And when it comes to food… I’m an excellent eater! 🍚🤍 I’m not a picky girl, and I don’t currently have any known food allergies. I enjoy most foods, although I have to be honest—fruit isn’t really my thing. 😅 I’m also comfortable going potty both indoors and outdoors. I usually go potty during my morning walk, pee again during my afternoon walk, and use an indoor pee pad before bedtime. When I’m outside, I especially like going on the grass. There is one thing I’m still learning, though: being alone. When my family gets ready to leave, I may try to follow them because I don’t quite understand yet that they’re coming back. If I’m left alone, I might whine for a little while at the front door before eventually lying down there and waiting. So I’m looking for a family who understands that being alone is something I need to learn gradually. With short absences, patience, and consistent training, I hope I can become more comfortable and confident when my family needs to step out. I may need to learn a few things—like not picking things up on walks, coming when I’m called, waiting patiently, and feeling comfortable on my own—but I’m a food-motivated girl who loves people, so I’m ready to learn! 🤍 I might seem a little shy or nervous when you first meet me, but please don’t give up on me too quickly. Give me a little time. Give me a little patience. And most importantly, give me a chance to trust you. Once I do, you’ll see how sweet, playful, affectionate, and loving I really am. 🐾 I’m waiting for a family who will take me on walks, teach me new things, share delicious treats with me, and most of all, love me for the rest of my life. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for? 🤍🐶
