Meet Top Ten 8 (Mary), a sweet, gentle girl who is looking for a patient family to help her continue building her confidence. She can be very shy and needs someone who will let her move at her own pace. When Mary first arrived at the shelter, she was so unsure about the leash that staff and volunteers would carry her outside. With time, patience, and encouragement, she has made wonderful progress and is now able to walk outside on leash by herself.
Mary takes her walks slowly and carefully, thoughtfully exploring the world around her as she grows more confident each day. She is food-motivated, making treats a wonderful way to help build trust and reinforce positive experiences. She enjoys gentle pets and has a quiet, sweet nature that shines through once she feels safe.
Mary will thrive with adopters who understand that confidence can't be rushed. If you're willing to give her the time, patience, and kindness she deserves, you'll have the privilege of watching this special girl blossom into a loyal and loving companion.
Top Ten 8 (Mary) has met other dogs at the shelter, she is gentle and does best with polite friends.
