Latisha

Description

Latisha is an absolutely adorable Maltipoo with the sweetest eyes and an even sweeter heart. At first glance, she may seem shy and unsure. Being such a tiny girl in such a big world can feel a little overwhelming, and she takes her time deciding who and what is safe. With patience, understanding, and a little help from a confident canine friend, her true personality begins to shine.   Because the world feels a little less scary with a friend by her side, Latisha is looking for a calm and patient home with another small, confident dog. She takes comfort from her canine companions and blossoms much more quickly when she has a friend to show her the ropes. Due to her small size, she prefers dogs closer to her own size. Once she feels comfortable, she blossoms into a playful, silly companion who will absolutely steal your heart. She loves to pounce on her toys, chew on her favorites, enjoy tasty treats, and show off her surprisingly speedy little legs. Don't let her size fool you—this tiny pup can run fast!   She tends to freeze and is much more comfortable exploring off-leash than walking on one so a securely fenced yard is required for her to safely explore and enjoy her zoomies. Speaking of zoomies, hers come in the cutest "mini" version: a quick burst of happy energy followed by a well-earned break on the couch, where she'll happily decompress and relax.   When playtime is over, her favorite place to be is snuggled right under your chin, soaking up affection and handing out gentle kisses. She's incredibly loving once you've earned her trust and will form a deep bond with the people she feels safe around. This sweet girl would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can build trust at her own pace. In return, you'll get an incredibly devoted companion who will shower you with affection and remind you every day just how special she is.   Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
