Lois’s Story

Lois is a quiet, gentle Golden Poodle mix who was rescued from a puppy mill situation. She’s now beginning her journey toward healing and discovering what it means to be truly loved. Her early life didn’t include affection or care, so Lois is understandably fearful and cautious—but she is slowly learning to trust.


What Lois Needs

Lois will thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue to grow in confidence at her own pace. She would benefit from having a friendly, stable dog companion to help guide her and model positive behaviors. Her ideal adopter is someone who understands the needs of shy, undersocialized dogs and can offer her the reassurance and time she deserves.
