Description
Ilda may be timid at first, but beneath her shyness lies a heart brimming with potential. Once she feels safe and has had time to trust, her true nature shines through: friendly, playful, cuddly, and deeply affectionate. She loves to show her gentle side and thrives on forming close bonds with people. Ilda is the kind of dog who will reward your patience and kindness with unwavering loyalty and endless snuggles.
Having grown up in a shelter, Ilda has no experience of the outside world. Everyday sights and sounds—like cars, parks, and bustling streets—are unfamiliar to her. Because of this, she will need an understanding and patient home to help her navigate these new experiences at her own pace. She isn’t leash-trained or toilet-trained yet, so her new family will need to guide her with gentle encouragement as she learns these essential skills.
With time, positive reinforcement, and consistency, Ilda will adapt and gain confidence. Her playful and curious nature will help her embrace this learning journey, and she’ll find joy in every new discovery as she grows into a confident and happy dog.
Ilda is looking for a calm and understanding home that will provide her with the time, space, and love she needs to flourish. A family experienced with shy or rescue dogs would be ideal, as they’ll understand the importance of patience and gradual introductions to new experiences.
She would benefit from a secure yard where she can explore safely at her own pace, as well as an environment free from overwhelming stimuli. Ilda would thrive with another calm, well-socialized dog who could act as a role model and help her learn the ropes of being a cherished family member.
Ilda has not been cat tested but can be if needed.
Ilda has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so she’s ready to begin her new life with a clean bill of health. All she needs now is a family who can guide her toward her full potential.
What makes Ilda so special is her resilience and her capacity for love. Though she’s spent her life in the shelter, she has an open heart and a willingness to learn. With the right family, Ilda will blossom into a devoted, affectionate companion who will fill your days with joy and gratitude.
If you have the patience, love, and commitment to help Ilda find her confidence and show her how beautiful the world can be, she’s ready to begin her journey by your side.
