Dove

My name is Dove, and I’m a bit of a shy one, so please forgive me if I don’t appear all friendly and outgoing at first.  I am a 12 year old 10lb Terrier mix and I came to Forever Loved after my lifelong owner passed away.  I lived a very quiet and secluded existence with another doggy companion, so when I found myself homeless, I was quite overwhelmed.  I didn’t eat much, but overall, the vet found me to be in good health. I’ve been in the loving care of a wonderful foster for a while now and I’ve made significant progress in getting over some fears, but that special care will need to continue in my forever home, too.  I really love the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a furry friend who will also help show me this world is not such a scary place.  The only time I don’t like another dog around me is when I’m eating, because I don’t like to share.  I am mostly house trained, but occasionally may have an accident when left alone or overnight.  I do know how to use potty pads tho.  My new favorite activity in the whole world is to go on “sniffaris” with you.  I’ve gotten used to a harness and leash, but still, if you let me choose the path, the pace, and allow me to sniff to my hearts content, dang, what a confidence booster that is for me!  I may not be the easiest dog, I will require patience and love, and I may not be a social butterfly, but if you’ve ever truly wanted to “rescue” a sweet soul that needs to know life can be safe again, I promise to entertain you with zoomies and joy!
