💔 Her Rescue Story:
Shoshoni was rescued from a horrific breeder/hoarder situation in Doyline, Louisiana. She arrived pregnant, malnourished, and frightened. Due to her tiny size, she required an emergency C-section and gave birth to 5 puppies (1 sadly passed). Unable to nurse, her surviving pups were bottle-fed by vet techs, and she remained in loving foster care during her recovery.
💛 Personality & Home Requirements:
Shoshoni is a shy and tender-hearted soul who forms deep bonds with her caregiver. She loves to cuddle, gives the sweetest kisses, and sleeps peacefully in bed next to her foster mom. While she’s made incredible progress, she is:
- Not fully house-trained (does well in a puppy pen with pads)
- Timid around strangers but never aggressive
- Best in a quiet, adult-only home (no young children or frequent visitors)
- Needs a fenced yard and never to be left outside unattended (due to predator risk)
🐾 The Perfect Match for Shoshoni:
✅ Someone patient and persistent
✅ No young children or chaotic environments
✅ Willing to supervise outdoors due to her tiny size
✅ Committed to lifetime care, not just companionship
✅ Someone who sees her not as a project, but a treasure
🧡 Additional Info:
- Good with other dogs
- Unknown with cats
- Travels well and loves car rides
- Low grooming needs
- Tiny bark (rarely heard)
