Collette

Meet Collette!

Collette is a 3‑year‑old, 35lb moderate‑energy sweetheart with a gentle soul and a fun personality. She will start out shy, but once she trusts you, she becomes an incredibly affectionate companion who loves to be close to her people. Collette is house-trained, dog door trained and crate trained. She sleeps in her kennel each night-it's her safe and cozy space.

Collette loves deeply and will thrive with patient, kind people. Give her a few days and she'll be your best friend! When meeting strangers she is initially skittish and may bark when someone new comes into the home, but after a few minutes she'll come over for a sniff and will relax.
She would do best with kids age 10+ and are patient with shy dogs.
Collette would probably be happiest as an only dog, though she gets along well with other dogs and has done great in group settings! A slow intro is always helpful but not necessarily required. She could definitely live with a calm, confident doggy friend. She has not lived with cats, but she does show interest in them on walks. Likely best in a no‑cat home.

What She Loves Best
Chewing: Yak cheese bars (her absolute favorite!), sticks, and bones. She rarely chews items that aren't hers and is very respectful with toys. She loves belly rubs, cozy spaces, her kennel, and hanging out under the bed as well as daily walks (she's fabulous on leash!) gentle adventures, exploring the outdoors with her humans.

Collette will thrive in a home that offers a yard for zoomies when she has bursts of energy. A doggie door is a bonus-she likes the security of being able to come back inside when she's ready. She's a true "inside dog" and prefers being inside unless someone is out in the yard with her. She rarely barks, even with neighboring dogs.
Her biggest need, though, is a calm, patient family who understands her gentle, sometimes anxious nature and can provide structure and reassurance.
Collette is ready to find her forever family. If you think that could be you, apply to meet his cute girl at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
