Letty is a one‑year‑old, 22‑lb beagle mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest nature. She’s a quiet little girl with a soft, thoughtful presence that makes her incredibly endearing. She takes comfort in quiet companionship, and chooses to observe rather than participate in her surroundings. She will have brief moments of solo zoomies in the fenced yard, and also perks up with interest when the other dogs start to play around her. She recently started playing with the dogs in her foster home. She’s doing well with housetraining, co-exists well with other dogs, and is calm in her crate for hours at a time, and prefers to spend her days observing quiet activities at home and nights sleeping in the bed with her people. Letty is still getting her bearings after traveling from Oklahoma to RI, and she will likely take longer than most rescue dogs to start to show her true personality. She needs a quiet household that is committed to allowing her to blossom at her own speed. Sudden movements or noises in the home startle her, and she can be overwhelmed by o ff property excursions and social interactions. She is as quiet and docile as a mouse, and needs an equally gentle home that will maintain a safe space for her for however long she needs to settle and build confidence. Access to a fenced-in outdoor area would also help her transition. Although she is doing well with the young child in her foster home, a home with small kids may be too overwhelming at this poing. Letty will thrive with a gentle, patient family who will cherish Letty for who she is today, and who will celebrate every small moment of progress over the coming years as she discovers comfort, routine, and love. Come say hi to Letty! Letty's Backstory: Letty comes from a hoarding situation in Oklahoma, where she was kept in large outdoor kennels with many other dogs . Despite her challenging first year of life, she has held onto her loving, trusting heart — she leans into affection, watches other dogs play with interest, and is already learning how good life can be inside a home. Note: Caregivers of dogs from hoarding situations should be prepared for quirks as well as fear of normal household things/life, people, and excursions. Adopters of dogs like these need to be looking to adopt to help the dog, not so much to get a pet for themselves with specific expectations of the pet. While dogs from hoarding situations can make great pets, they need a home and lifestyle that is gentle, accommodating and will be forgiving as their needs and personalities unfold.
