Meet Pancake
Age: 5 years, 2 months
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Personality & Story:
Pancake is a tender-hearted who is still learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place. She is very anxious startles easily. Her crate is her safe space, and she relies on it to feel secure—but when she gathers her courage, Pancake will step out and quietly approach her foster, even if she’s still wary. That small choice speaks volumes about her desire to connect.
She’s observant and thoughtful, watching everything around her with careful eyes. When toys squeak or a ball rolls by, Pancake shows interest—she watches closely, as if imagining joining in—hinting at a playful side that’s waiting to emerge once she feels safe enough.
Good With:
Dogs: Calm and neutral; watches and sniffs but keeps her distance
People: Very shy; warms slowly and needs patience and understanding
Training & Home Life:
Pancake will walk on leash in the backyard, though she remains cautious and unsure. She doesn’t follow people around yet, but she does choose to come closer when she feels ready, always knowing her crate is nearby if she needs reassurance.
She’s quiet and gentle, showing no reactivity—just fear that time, routine, and kindness can help ease. Pancake has a long way to go, but she doesn’t need perfection; she needs someone committed to caring for her for life.
Why You’ll Love Pancake:
Pancake is for the special adopter who believes that love doesn’t have to be loud to be real. She may never rush into the center of the room, but the trust she offers—slowly and sincerely—will be deeply meaningful. With patience and a calm home, Pancake has the potential to blossom into a loyal, gentle companion who knows she’s finally safe
