Ivy is a ~3-year-old pup, believed to be a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, with a gentle soul and a heart that just needs a little time to shine. She’s a “slow burn” kind of girl — shy at first, but once she feels safe, she becomes your devoted little shadow, always wanting to be close to her person.

This sweet girl is full of quiet charm. She’s curious and loving, but can be a bit easily startled in new environments. Because of that, Ivy will truly thrive in a calm, patient home where she can build confidence at her own pace and feel safe being herself.

Ivy has a perfect balance of personality — she enjoys little playful moments, but is just as happy curled up in your lap for hours, soaking up love and comfort.

In her foster home, she’s done well with other dogs and has shown just how deeply loyal and loving she can be. Once she bonds with you, it’s something really special.

If you’re looking for a companion who may take a little time at first, but will reward you with unwavering loyalty and love, Ivy could be your perfect match.
