Hi there, my name is Evangeline, and I'm a 42-pound Terrier mix with a tender heart who's still learning to feel safe in this big, busy world. The shelter can be a little overwhelming for me, so I tend to sit quietly and whine, unsure of what to do. I get nervous meeting new people and can be hesitant to walk through doorways or explore unfamiliar places. I'm not mean or standoffish - just cautious and trying to understand who I can trust. What I really need is someone patient who will let me move at my own pace and show me kindness as I learn to open up. Deep down, I'm very sweet and curious; I just need time and reassurance to let that shine through. Once I start to feel comfortable, you'll see little glimpses of my playful side - like when I give a shy play bow or wag my tail when I feel encouraged. I have so much love and potential waiting to be discovered; I just need the right home to help me blossom. A quiet, easygoing environment would be perfect for me, with people who understand that building trust takes time. With gentle encouragement, soft words, and patience, I'll become the loyal, loving companion I've always wanted to be - the kind of friend who's worth every bit of waiting.
My adoption fee of $225+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society.
All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption.
Happy Adopting!
