You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lainey is a 6-year-old female Bichon mix with the softest eyes and a tender heart that’s still learning how to feel safe. She is a breeder release, which means much of her early life was spent without the love, stability, and everyday experiences most dogs know. Because of that, she is learning a lot of new things and the world is sometimes overwhelming to her. Lainey is a beautiful, sweet, and sensitive girl who is just beginning to understand what it means to live inside a home, to trust people, and to be a family pet. She will need continued time to decompress, build confidence, and learn that she is finally safe. Patience, consistency, and gentle reassurance will help her continue to blossom. She is very attached to her foster mom and happily follows her like a little shadow. Being close to her person makes her feel secure, and she is at her happiest curled up beside someone she trusts. Because she can be quite anxious, Lainey will do best in a home where someone is present most of the day. A fenced yard is important for her comfort and security, and she would do best in a home without shared walls, as new or sudden noises can startle her. As Lainey is still learning about living in a home, she is currently about 60% house trained. She can be left to free roam, but her new family should understand that accidents will still happen as she continues to figure things out and learns your schedule. She truly does not enjoy being kenneled — and when she feels confined, she will passionately make her displeasure known, which sounds a bit like a high-pitched teenage girl scream. For her, the kennel feels scary and overwhelming. With patience, consistency, and a predictable routine, she will continue to gain confidence and make steady progress. Lainey enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along well with the cat in her foster home. She can be nervous around men at first, but with gentle introductions and time, she learns to trust. Older, respectful children would be just fine for her. Lainey has no teeth, so she will need to remain on a wet diet, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life’s simple pleasures — especially love and companionship. Lainey isn’t looking for perfection. She’s looking for someone who understands that healing takes time, and that the most beautiful transformations happen slowly. In the right home, with patience and a kind heart, this sweet girl will continue to bloom into the devoted, loving companion she was always meant to be.
