Sheba

Meet Sheba! Your dog's new best friend is waiting right here!Sheba is a 2-year-old Beagle mix who weighs around 33 pounds, and she is the perfect pup for a family looking to add a playful companion for their current dog. If your dog would love a buddy to play with, go on adventures with, share toys with, and cuddle with, Sheba could be their girl! After spending more than a year in a shelter, Sheba came to her foster home incredibly scared and shut down. But with almost three months of patience, love, and security, she has completely blossomed! We are finally getting to see the playful, affectionate, silly girl who was hiding underneath all that fear. Other dogs are truly Sheba's happy place! She absolutely loves having canine friends and is wonderful at reading doggy body language and social cues. She enjoys playing chase, running around, and roughhousing with dogs who like the same kind of play. She does well with dogs of all sizes and would be an amazing playmate and companion for another friendly, playful pup.She gets SO excited when it's time for a walk! And when she spots another dog along the way, she often greets them with the cutest little play bow, letting them know she's ready to make a friend. She isn't a high-energy dog inside the house, but she loves having opportunities to play. Give her some toys and she'll happily toss them in the air, roll around with them, or settle down with a good bone. She's also fully house trained and crate trained and is an incredibly well-behaved girl in the home.When she's not playing with her doggy friends, Sheba loves curling up on the couch beside her foster. She's not a big barker and is perfectly happy relaxing with her people. She currently requires a securely fenced yard because she isn't comfortable pottying while on leash.Sheba can still be a little nervous when someone reaches toward her unexpectedly, so she needs a family who understands that she may take a little time to warm up. She's especially good with kids who know to give her a little space at first. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality starts to shine, and she's even surprised some of the kids she's met at adoption events with a sweet little kiss. Busy adoption events may not show you the real Sheba. Her happiest self comes out when she's comfortable, especially when she's playing in a fenced yard with other dogs, enjoying her walks, tossing around her toys, or snuggling up with her favorite people.Sheba has come such a long way, and we would love to find her a home where she can continue to blossom. Most of all, we'd love for her to have a friendly doggy sibling to share life with. Imagine your dog having a new best friend who gets excited to see them, invites them to play, and is always happy to have a companion by their side. That's Sheba! If your dog is looking for a playmate, walking buddy, and new best friend, Sheba might be the perfect addition to your family!Please apply at bcaaofnj.org!
