Meet Naoky, a bright and outdoorsy girl who just needs a little patience to let her true colors shine. She can be unsure of new people at first and appreciates slow, thoughtful introductions, but once she feels safe (and has sampled a few treats), she becomes a playful, affectionate companion. Naoky loves exploring the yard, greeting her favorite humans with excited wiggles and an occasional play bow, and she happily shows off her nice manners, including a lovely sit. She enjoys chasing toys, tug games, and then entertaining herself with whatever she discovers. While Naoky is food motivated and eager to learn, she's also sensitive with handling, grooming, and unfamiliar situations, so she'll thrive with a patient adopter who can go at her pace and help her build confidence. Due to her handling sensitivities and stranger danger, Naoky is best suited for a home without young children (8+). With understanding, structure, and gentle guidance, Naoky will reward her person with loyalty, enthusiasm, and endless adventures in the great outdoors.
