***Fence & Companion Dog Required  ***

Caylea is a special girl looking for a special home.  Caylea is a 6 year old Shih Tzu / Poodle mix.  She’s spent her life in a breeding farm producing puppies with little human socialization. 

Caylea been with a foster family for a few months and continues to make progress each week and day!  She plays with her foster siblings and enjoys running in the yard.  She’s becoming a “normal” dog. 

She will rub her head and body on the toy basket and enjoys being “groomed” and cuddled by my “Mama” DOG.  She will need a confident dog in the house to help her continue on her journey.

HOWEVER, at this point Caylea avoids being touched by her humans. She’s happy to sit next to you on the couch and follow you through the house.  She’ll take (or beg!) treats from your hand.  She’s curious & wants to be close to you, she just doesn’t yet like to be touched.  AND she may not like to be touched for a very long time if ever.  Looking for that patient and special home for Caylea.
