d curling up for belly rubs (she’ll even wrap her paw around your wrist to keep the pets coming). Her foster calls her “a little love bug, but slow to warm up and come out of her shell”—and once she feels safe, she’s happy to spend her days enjoying quiet companionship.
Cindy is a giant couch potato who’s fully house-trained, quiet, and perfectly content to relax while you work or unwind. She’s still a little scared of the outside world and would do best in a calm, low-traffic home. She’s not a fan of other small dogs, and while she hasn’t met larger dogs in foster care, her foster says she seems “curious” about them on walks. Busy streets and loud noises like sirens can be overwhelming, so she’s ideally suited for a quieter neighborhood.
Cindy Lou Who came to PAWS with an injured paw that has been treated. She also had hip (FHO) surgery to help her feel more comfortable. She may be prone to some arthritis and occasional limping, so her future family will need to provide follow-up care and help her stay comfortable as she gets older.
Her foster says it best: “She is such a little diva, but she really loves having a person. I think whoever adopts her will be her world.” If you’re looking for a low-key, affectionate companion who will happily share your couch (and your heart), with a little patience, Cindy Lou Who is ready to make herself right at home.
