Curacao

My story

Curacao is a quiet, gentle soul who’s just now discovering the world — and it’s been beautiful to watch. At 9 years old, this Shih Tzu girl is a breeder surrender who spent her life in a crate. Because of that, everything is new to her: the smell of grass, the feel of a bed, and the joy of a walk. She is curious about everything, stopping often on walks to take it all in. She’s still learning how to walk on a leash, but she’s eager and making progress every day. She rides quietly in the car and doesn’t mind other dogs, people or kids — she just hasn’t had much experience with them yet. She’s not into toys, but she is into food and will follow you around with quiet devotion. Curacao is low-shedding and very quiet — she rarely barks unless left completely alone, and even then, she eventually settles. She is not fully house-trained yet, but she’s making lots of progress. She will need someone patient, present, and kind to help her continue learning what it means to be a dog in a loving home. This sweet girl sleeps best when someone is nearby. She loves to keep you in sight. She doesn’t ask for much — just a calm space, a warm bed, and a human who will help her feel safe. She’s not a lap dog or cuddly, but she’ll be right beside you, always.  Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States and Korea. ##2420615##
