Dolores, Terrier Mix is A Shy Snuggle Bug With a Big Personality – Could You Be Her Forever Home?

Dolores is a sweet, 4–6-year-old (approx.) small working breed mix who may start off timid, but once she warms up, she becomes a full-time lap ornament and attention-seeking sweetheart. This little drama queen tiptoes around new people and dogs like she’s entering a haunted house… but give her time, and suddenly she’s demanding pets like she owns the place.

Why Dolores Is So Special 🐶

🐾 Shy at first, but quickly becomes affectionate and loving
💛 Full-time lap companion once she feels safe
🎾 Loves playtime—wrestling, fetch, tug-of-war, and chase
💃 Prances like a show pony when running
👂 Enjoys ear massages on demand
🏡 House-trained, crate-trained, and good with other dogs (with slow intros)

Dolores may start off shy, but she has a big personality once comfortable. She loves attention, rubs her head and shoulders on her favorite humans, and will happily snuggle for hours. True to her working-dog roots, Dolores has energy to burn and will need daily exercise and mental enrichment. She may show herding or guarding behaviors that can be channeled with proper guidance.

What Dolores Is Looking For ✔️

✔️ A patient adopter willing to go slow with introductions
✔️ A home with another confident dog to help her settle
✔️ Regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep her happy
✔️ A family ready to give her love, attention, and consistent guidance
