A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Erica,

I'm a sweet and gentle soul who absolutely loves being around people. I'm what you might call "people-oriented" because there's nothing I enjoy more than being the center of attention! Now, I should be upfront-I'm not very interested in other dogs or animals. I'd really prefer a home where I can be your one and only, getting all the love and care to myself. That way, I can give all my love back to you too!

Even though I love being with my humans, there's something you should know about me: I can get a little overwhelmed if there's too much cuddling or too much going on. Don't get me wrong, I love affection, but sometimes I just need a break. I'm really hoping to find a family that understands my boundaries and knows when I need space. That way, I can show you how much I love you in my own special way!

One of my favorite things is going for walks. I love exploring new places, sniffing all the interesting scents, and just enjoying the outdoors. But I have to admit, the world can be a little overwhelming sometimes, and I can get nervous. I'm looking for a family who is willing to help me build my confidence with some extra training and reassurance. With your patience and love, I know I'll feel braver with each step we take together. I'm learning to trust that the world isn't so scary after all, and I'd love for you to be the one to show me that.

I also have a bit of an independent streak. While I might not be the type of dog who wants to be in your lap all the time, I really enjoy being near you. I love to relax in the same room as you, and I'll happily nap on my bed while you do your own thing. It's comforting just knowing you're there. I think it's the perfect balance-I get my personal space, and you get a calm, happy companion by your side.

So, if you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who will give you all her heart but also respects her own boundaries, I might be the perfect dog for you. I'm just waiting for a family that can offer me a safe, loving home, help me grow more confident, and appreciate me for the sweet, unique girl I am. Could you be that family? I can't wait to meet you and start our new adventure together!

Love, Erica
