Meet Estelle, a sweet, bouncy girl who's ready to find a family to call her own. This lovely pup has such a happy little spring in her step. Whether she's wiggling with excitement or patiently (sometimes not so patiently) waiting in hopes that you might have a treat in your pocket (she's a big fan!), Estelle brings a joy wherever she goes. Estelle can be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring new places, so she's looking for a kind, patient family that will let her settle in at her own pace. Once she knows she's safe, her friendly personality starts to shine, and it's impossible not to fall in love with her. Treats are a fast way to Estelle's heart and will be a wonderful tool for building her confidence and continuing her training. With a little encouragement, lots of kindness, and a handful of tasty snacks this sweet girl is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.
If you're looking for a new best friend to spoil with treats, Estelle can't wait to meet you. Submit an application today and help this adorable girl find the forever home she deserves.
