Meet a Reina, a sweet, timid girl who's getting braver by the day. Reina spent the past year in southern foster care learning to trust humans after being used as target practice by some evil humans in Arkansas.

Now in New England, Reina is continuing to gain confidence and learning how to dog. While in the south, she was too afraid to potty outside and was trained to use potty pads. Miss Reina is incredibly brave and recently began venturing outside, following the lead of other confident dogs. She is slowly learning outside is a safe place now. Leashes are still too overwhelming for her, so a secure, fenced-in yard is mandatory as well as at least one other confident dog in the home.
Reina needs at least one happy, confident dog in Reina's in her new home. This is an absolute must.

She loves playing with toys and collecting Nylabones in a pile. She's cautious with people but enjoys butt scratches and eagerly takes treats from your hand. Reina is playful, sweet, and quirky, often approaching for pets but retreating when she's had enough. She loves to show her excitement with butt wiggles and the cutest awooo companied by big spinnies. Reina would thrive in a home with other dogs along with someone to nurture her playful spirit. her cautious nature, she thrives with other dogs and shows a joyful, docile side in the right environment.

Reina needs a calm, patient environment with understanding adopters willing to give her time to adjust. Shy dogs prefer environments, making them perfect for people who appreciate a relaxed, low-key lifestyle. They will happily join you for serene moments, offering a gentle, soothing presence .

Earning the trust of a shy dog is an incredibly rewarding experience. When they do open up to you, the connection is unmatched, and you will feel the depth of their gratitude and love every single day.

Reina is a sweet, sweet soul who has have already made incredible progress and is ready for the next step in her journey—finding a loving home that will continue to help her heal and flourish.
