A little about them

Meet Itsy, a loving young dog looking for a special foster or foster-to-adopt home. She loves snacks, cats, kids, cuddling her person, sunning herself outdoors, and playing chase in the yard. Although she is very fearful, she never lashes out and is beginning to show her sweet personality.

Ideal Home

Itsy needs a patient, understanding family that will let her build trust at her own pace. Her ideal home has:

  • A securely fenced yard with no possible escape points
  • A calm dog who may help her gain confidence, though this is not required
  • People who understand her fear of new people, men, fast movement, loud noises, being picked up, and leash walking
  • A crate or safe space of her own; a crate can be provided for foster homes

Itsy loves sleeping on a bed, snuggling on the couch, relaxing in the sun, and running and playing in the yard. She is extra fearful around men and needs a home willing to help rebuild her trust.

Ongoing Health

Itsy’s history is unknown, and the listing does not report any diagnosed medical conditions or health tests.

Training & Support

Itsy is working on potty training and needs frequent outings, a consistent schedule, positive reinforcement, and patience. For now, all outdoor time should be in a secure yard because she may be a flight risk; walks and adoption events will wait until she is confident on a leash. Once potty trained, she is expected to be well-behaved without crating when left alone.

Application Details

  • Foster or foster-to-adopt placement is requested.
  • Adoption fee: $360.
