Meet Shyly!

Meet sweet Shyly, a gorgeous chihuahua with a sleek black coat and a harrowing past. This girl is looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to learn what love is!

Shyly weighs around 9lbs and is around 5 years old. She was rescued from a severe hoarding situation, so she is slowly learning how a sweet pup like her should be loved. While her confidence has improved leaps and bounds, she is still anxious in this new world that she has found herself in and will jump at sudden noises. Her foster mom has been using CBD to reduce her anxiety and it has been working a charm!

Shyly has come on leaps and bounds since she was first rescued and we know that with the care of an experienced dog owner, she will be able to continue to thrive! She doesn’t yet take food from her human and doesn’t like to be picked up, but she does allow pets and will boop her human with her little nose. She does surprisingly well with visitors to the house and is willing to boop and sniff newcomers.

Shyly is an agile and playful little girl. She absolutely lights up around playful dogs, it’s a beautiful thing to see! She has been friendly to all of the dogs that she has met. She becomes playful, snuggly, and even more confident around her humans when she is in the company of doggie siblings.

Shyly loves her little snuggle cave that her foster mom made for her. She is a quiet girl who rarely vocalises. She loves to be sweet talked to as it makes her feel comfortable.

Sadly, Shyly never experienced the outdoors before she was rescued. Her foster mom, with the help of her doggie siblings, have helped her to discover the patio and the yard. With the help of a patient family, we know that she will learn to love zooming around the yard! Other dogs who were rescued from the same situation as Shyly have learned to love the yard and we know that she will too!

Shyly’s skin and fur are still recovering from the lack of care that she has been subjected to for her entire life. With time, good nutrition, and a patient owner, we know that she can continue to heal.

With Shyly, trust will take time, but if she’s like most with this issue you will be her total life and love when she does trust you! A confident canine sibling in the home would be ideal! Apply today to meet this wonderful little girl!

Shyly is being fostered in Austin, TX and is available for adoption in throughout central Texas and Northeastern states.
