They are often loyal, affectionate, and happiest when curled up beside someone they trust. Sheeba fits this description perfectly — tiny in size but overflowing with love once she feels secure. Sheeba’s Story & Personality: Sheeba is a sweet, gentle girl who may be a little shy when meeting adults at first, but once she opens up, she becomes a complete love bug. She adores being close to her people and prefers to spend her time snuggled in a lap or tucked under a blanket at your feet. She truly just wants to be with her person at all times. She is still learning to feel confident on a leash and can be scared during walks, which is why a securely fenced yard is required for her safety. She is crate trained and should be crated when left alone, as she continues working on house training. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, Sheeba will continue building confidence and thriving. Sheeba’s Ideal Home: A securely fenced yard Someone patient who will continue leash confidence training A home where she can have plenty of lap time and companionship Seniors or apartment dwellers (with fenced yard access) would be wonderful fits A family committed to keeping her safe and comfortable during outings Ready to Welcome a Tiny Shadow Into Your Life? Sheeba may be small, but she will fill your home with warmth, loyalty, and constant companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted little lap dog who simply wants to love and be loved, Sheeba is ready to meet you. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description.
