Meet Pocket Change!
Pocket Change is a very sweet girl who just needs a little extra time to feel safe and confident. She can be shy in new environments and is still learning about the world, including what a leash is! She'll thrive with a patient family who lets her settle in at her own pace and uses positive reinforcement to help her build confidence.
Pocket Change will need regular grooming, gradual socialization, and support learning to feel comfortable when left alone. With a little patience, lots of love, and plenty of encouragement, this sweet girl has so much potential to blossom!
