From her soulful eyes to her delightfully squishy body, Heather is impossible not to fall in love with. This adorable young girl has a gentle, sensitive nature and is still learning that the world isn't quite as scary as it first seems. While new people and unfamiliar places can leave her feeling a little unsure, beneath that timid exterior is a sweet dog just waiting to blossom with the right support. Heather is looking for a calm and quiet home where life moves at a predictable pace. A family that can offer patience, understanding, and plenty of positive encouragement will help her continue building confidence and discovering how wonderful life can be. Every small victory is a big achievement for Heather, and watching her come out of her shell will be incredibly rewarding. A calm canine companion could be just what Heather needs, providing both company and guidance as she settles into her new life. She may also be suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children who can respect her need for space while she learns to feel safe. Heather has not been tested with cats, so any introductions should be handled slowly and thoughtfully. As a large breed rescue girl, Heather will need an experienced home committed to helping her navigate the world with kindness, consistency, and gentle leadership. In return, you'll gain a loyal, loving shadow who will quietly steal your heart and remind you that the best things in life are worth taking your time for.
