Carly - Terrier / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption Carly - Mutt Female Dog For Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Dog Breed: Terrier / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat).

Meet Carly! Carly came to us from Huesito's Rescue in Hermosillo, Mexico. We occasionally partner with Huesito's when they become overcrowded, and a portion of every adoption fee is donated back to support their lifesaving work. At first glance, Carly may seem shy and reserved, but there's so much more to her than that. Once she feels safe and learns to trust someone, her sweet personality shines. Carly is affectionate, curious, and loves spending time with her favorite people. She enjoys cuddling, belly rubs, and will happily follow her trusted humans from room to room. She also gets along well with other dogs and loves to run and play. With her moderate energy level, Carly is equally happy enjoying playtime and relaxing with her people. Carly's Challenges: Like many dogs who have experienced uncertainty in their lives, Carly struggles with meeting new people. She does not immediately show her best side and needs time, patience, and understanding to feel comfortable. When faced with unfamiliar people, Carly may avoid interaction by running away or seeking comfort behind someone she trusts. She may also bark or lunge as a way of creating distance between herself and perceived threats. These behaviors are fear-based and stem from insecurity rather than aggression. When Carly first arrived at the shelter, she displayed these same behaviors with our team. Given time and positive experiences, she learned to trust us and revealed the loving dog behind the fear. Carly previously spent a week in a foster home but was returned because of her ongoing fear-related challenges. She began forming strong bonds with the adult male and female in the home but became uncomfortable and growled when pre-teen boys approached while she was near her trusted person. The Home Carly Needs: Carly would thrive in a patient, dog-savvy home that understands fearful dogs and is committed to helping her build confidence. She would do best in a quieter environment with limited foot traffic and visitors. A securely fenced yard is important, as Carly can be an escape risk when frightened. She is also still working on house training, leash skills, and becoming more comfortable with handling, such as putting on a harness. The ideal adopter will allow Carly to progress at her own pace, celebrate small victories, and continue her training with kindness and consistency. Carly's Details: Approximately 3 years old About 20 pounds Spayed Current on vaccinations Rabies certificate included Microchipped If you believe you can provide the patient, loving home Carly deserves, we'd love to introduce you.

Sometimes the dogs who take the longest to trust become the most loyal companions, and Carly is hoping to find someone willing to give her that chance. ❤️
