Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven’t seen Alondra with cats, but she can be tested! Due to Alondra's shyness, she should not go to a home with kids under 12. 

Special Adoption Considerations: Because Alondra is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Due to her shy personality, we do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12.

Currently Living at:   DC area foster home

All About Alondra: Welcome to the heartwarming tale of Alondra, a petite pooch with a heart as big as the Caribbean sun! Hailing from a rural shelter in Puerto Rico, this small furry bundle is ready to embark on a new chapter of love, warmth, and companionship. Alondra may be initially reserved, but beneath her shy demeanor she has a gentle spirit and is a loyal and affectionate companion. She is looking for a patient and understanding family to embrace her wholeheartedly. 

Though her past may be unknown, her future holds endless potential for happiness, love, and countless joyous memories. Are you the compassionate, patient, and loving individual Alondra has been longing for? Together, you can form an unbreakable bond, nurturing her confidence and watching her bloom.

So, if you're ready to open your heart and home to this precious, shy sweetheart, join her on this journey of love, trust, and unspoken understanding. Together, you'll create a lifelong tale of friendship, warmth, and endless tail-wagging joy.

What my foster says: 1 month update: After being in foster care for 1 month, Alondra has made great progress to trust people and let down her guard! She is now taking 30 minute walks during the day and has exceptional leash skills! She greets other on-leash dogs wonderfully! She still enjoys laying on her dog bed for most of the day, but will now jump onto the couch to cuddle with her fosters and will take short, happy romps around the yard. It's fun to watch her build her confidence as she starts to feel comfortable enough to explore outside more. She comes out of her shell much faster when her foster dog companions are nearby - she now seeks out opportunities to briefly play with them and whines to show when she wants attention from them. Her favorite time is nightly snuggles in bed where she gets to show her affection with tiny little kisses. Her love is definitely worth the wait! Alondra's Wish List: a home with a small back yard; a calm neighborhood for short walks; a comfy couch or dog bed for snuggling; 1-2 calm, easygoing, playful dogs; and a family with the patience to let her adjust to your life slowly.
