Chloe

My story

Meet Chloe! Chloe is a very sweet and gentle girl, but incredibly timid and shy (not aggressive). She will require a patient forever home that is willing to work with her at her own pace to earn her trust. Chloe has made incredible progress in the short time she's lived with her foster family - she has recently started to let her foster mom scratch her chin, but still is not comfortable with much touching or being on a leash yet, so a securely fenced in yard is a must for her. We've been working with a trainer to help build her confidence and get her used to life indoors with a family. Safe Hands will provide her adopter one training session to help her adjust and be set up for success. Chloe is very food motivated so treats are definitely the way to her heart! Her ideal home would be a quiet and calm household (probably no small children as loud noises and sudden movements startle her) with another dog she could take the lead from to help build her confidence. She follows her foster sister everywhere and loves to do zoomies in the backyard with her! She gets along well with cats too. Despite her being shy, she is curious and playful with a huge personality - she loves toys and stealing shoes she will collect into a pile! She gets very excited when her foster family walks in the door and will playfully jump and paw at their legs, if you bend down to greet her she will give you happy little kisses on your cheek! When she is left unsupervised, she is limited to a certain area of her foster home with pet gates but otherwise has free range of the house as she seems to be naturally potty trained. She doesn't signal to go out yet, but she is let out on a schedule and has only had two accidents when she first came to her foster home. Chloe might require a little more training and work than most dogs, but she is a wonderful sweet little dog and is absolutely worth it. She's had a rough start in life and deserves more than anything a kind, loving home she can call her own! Chloe is estimated to be 1 year old and 18 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.  If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events. Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ for confirmed attendance the morning of the event. You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet! Saturday, July 12, 12:00-2:00pm, Brühaven - 1368 LaSalle Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 https://www.facebook.com/events/1017984393732542
