Shay

Meet Shay! Inside the house, I am an absolute dream—a sweet, loving, and fun 2-year-old, 12-lb Chihuahua who is ready to find my forever family! I used to be called Shadow because I love to stick right by your side. In fact, my favorite thing in the world is to sleep right next to you on a pillow or cuddle in your lap for some TV time! I am also a secret athlete—if you throw a soft plushy toy, I will happily retrieve it for you and I frequently get the zoomies. I am great with other dogs and cats (though my feelings on kids are still a mystery). While I am a total cuddle bug indoors, the big wide world outside still feels pretty scary to me right now. Every tiny noise makes me look over my shoulder, so I am still working hard on my outdoor potty training. Because the outside world intimidates me, I need a patient adopter who understands the 3-3-3 rule of dog rescue. I don't love to be left alone for long and will cry when left, so a home without shared walls would be best. With a predictable routine, a furry sibling to show me the ropes, and a little time to decompress, I know my confidence will bloom! If you are looking for a loyal, plushy-retrieving shadow to keep you company, I’m ready to meet you! Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
