Mattie is a sensitive girl who is still learning that the world can feel safe. She’ll do best with an adopter who can move at her pace and give her the time she needs to settle in. She appreciates a calm, predictable environment where she can observe before jumping in, and she’s likely to form strong bonds once she feels secure. A well-adjusted canine companion could also help her build confidence, and she will be placed in a home without children. Mattie is looking for someone who understands that trust takes time, and that the reward of earning it is something truly special.
