Just as sweet as she is silly, CINDY is a sunshine-loving pup who adores playing tag, exploring the outdoors, and lounging on the couch.
CINDY took her sweet time getting comfy-cozy in her foster home, and with the help of her foster family’s resident dog, she’s really come out of her shell. With another scruff to look up to, CINDY has gained confidence in navigating her new environment. She spent the first week exploring a little more of her foster’s home every day, and once she felt confident enough to step onto the sidewalk, she’s never looked back! Now, she loves her outdoor adventures! CINDY is still learning that cars and new noises aren’t so scary, but she responds beautifully to gentle encouragement from her humans.
It’s true—CINDY can be cautious when meeting new people. That said, she’s all tail wags and happy feet once she gets comfortable. While it takes her some time to get to this point, it’s so worth it when she does finally greet them with excitement. CINDY has been introduced to young humans and, after a little time to warm up, interacts gently. She enjoys their company when given space to approach at her own pace.
CINDY finds so much joy in running through parks and getting her paws wet in the river. When she’s her happiest self, she expresses this through butt wiggles. Whether she’s at the beach or on the trails, she really loves it all (rain or shine, too!). Oh, and she’s especially fond of getting her zoomies out in her foster family’s yard.
Out on walks, CINDY typically passes other dogs politely with a quick sniff, and as her confidence grows, she’s starting to show more excitement about meeting new furry friends (sometimes with a few happy barks). She’s curious about squirrels, so a little redirection helps there. She’s a quick learner, and while she might be gentle taking treats, she’s also a big chewer—so don’t say we didn’t warn you!
CINDY’s gentle heart, playful spirit, and growing confidence make her a wonderful companion for a family ready to give her patience, love, and plenty of adventure.
