Lark

My story

Meet Lark, a gentle 7-month-old soul with a heart as soft as her snuggles. Weighing in at just 28 pounds, this sweet pup may be small in size, but she has a world of love to give to the right person. Lark is a little shy at first and may take some time to feel safe in new surroundings. But once she warms up, she blossoms into a quiet cuddle companion who will happily curl up on the couch beside you and drift off into a peaceful, snore-filled nap. Her calm, low-key nature is rare for her age—while she has moments of playful energy, she’s far from the typical high-strung puppy. This lovely girl is excellent on leash, walking calmly by your side with zero pulling, making her a joy to take on quiet strolls. She's also treat motivated, which makes building trust and training a smoother, rewarding experience. What she needs most is a patient, loving home where she can continue to build her confidence and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. Lark has shown signs of separation anxiety and will do best in a home with a flexible schedule and someone who can be present as she learns to feel safe on her own. With time, support, and love, she has so much potential to grow into a secure and trusting companion. She’s done well with older children (8+), especially those who are gentle and respectful of her space, but the fast movements and unpredictability of toddlers may startle her. Lark thrives in a calm, stable environment where she can relax, feel loved, and move at her own pace. There’s something truly special about this girl—her soulful eyes seem to tell a thousand stories, and her gentle spirit leaves a lasting impression. Lark is looking for someone to see her, truly see her, and give her the world she deserves. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a quiet, loving companion who just wants to feel safe and loved, Lark is waiting for you. Lark would likely pair best with a calm, confident canine companion. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
