MYRTLE.

Meet Myrtle, a gentle soul with eyes that reflect her profound trust and kindness. She navigates the world with careful curiosity and prefers the quiet comforts of a low-activity home.

Myrtle has shown that she can coexist peacefully with both large and small dogs, observing them from a distance with a mix of nervous and happy tail wags. While she isn't the type to initiate play on leash, she does engage in mild play with other dogs when the opportunity arises. Children intrigue her; she tends to stop and watch them pass without any direct interaction, indicating that with a little patience, she could warm up to younger family members.

Training-wise, Myrtle is progressing slowly but steadily. She walks nicely on a leash, sticking close to her human's heels, and while she hasn't mastered the 'sit' command yet, her foster family is gently encouraging her. Myrtle is house-trained for the most part, with the occasional accident, and is comfortable doing her business during her short, routine walks.

Myrtle's quirks are what truly endear her to those around her. She's not much for toys, though she occasionally shows interest in a treat ball or a snuffle mat. Her communication style is unique—she doesn't bark much but prefers to 'talk' through adorable mumblings and grumblings when she seeks attention. One of her charming habits includes standing like a meerkat, which alongside her gentle nature and preference for following her person around, paints the picture of a dog deeply devoted to her family.

Her ideal home would be with someone who works from home as she thrives on companionship and can be quite the shadow, showing clinginess without separation anxiety. Myrtle is looking for a calm environment, possibly with another gentle dog and a family that understands her need for patience and gentle handling. Despite her shyness, Myrtle's sweetness and loyalty make her the perfect companion for someone willing to give her the love and security she deserves. If you're looking for a faithful friend to share in quiet days and provide lots of cuddles, Myrtle could be your ideal match.
