Libby, a Female Dachshund Corgi

Description

**Spotlight on Libby Senior Dogs and Friends   www.smallpupsrescue.org.  Arlington, WA.  360.386-2393 Libby is a sweet and loving 15-pound, 3-year-old female Dachshund-Corgi mix. She was found in Fresno, California, running with her daughter and two sons among other stray dogs that had been abandoned. Libby would be a great companion for a retired woman. She feels most comfortable with women and is a bit shy around men, but can warm up to dog-friendly men over time. Her ideal adopter is a woman or someone experienced with cautious rescue dogs. Libby prefers homes without children and does best in a calm, adult-only environment. At first, she may be cautious and not want to be picked up. As she learns to trust, she will come closer, give gentle kisses, and want to be near you, even joining you on the couch. Once she fully trusts you, she will let you pick her up. Libby enjoys relaxing at home, but with a little encouragement, she will happily go for walks on a harness and explore with you. She loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. Once she bonds with you, she will be a loyal companion. Libby can be an only dog as long as she has her person nearby and is not left alone for long periods. She gets along well with other friendly, small-breed dogs. Libby is usually cautious around bigger dogs and may feel nervous if they are too playful or energetic, so she would do best in a home without large dogs or with calm, gentle ones. Libby loves her daughter Lexxi, and they can be adopted together if you are interested in giving both a home.  Libby is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and ready to find her forever family.
