Colette - Papillon Dog for Adoption in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Hi! I'm Colette and I'm looking for my perfect home. Want to know what that looks like for me?

I'd like a home with a patient family that understands I need time to feel safe. I didn't have the best start in life so I'm still learning how to trust my people. My family will also need to know that I really like toys, like really really like toys! Treats are also must. They're my second favorite thing. I like all the dogs, and even the cats, in my foster home. But I'm kind of afraid of large dogs so no dogs larger than 20 pounds, please.

Colette's foster mom here, Colette is a happy little girl weighing just over 7 pounds. She's very sweet but hasn't yet learned to enjoy being pet or held. I know she'll learn how nice these things are in the near future. Shes so happy to be our little shadow when we're in our fenced yard.

Colette has made so much progress since coming into our home. She's learned to 'sit' by following what our dogs do when given treats. She's so smart! Colette has also learned our routine quickly. She's so incredibly happy to just be near us.

Onto the necessities. Colette must have a fenced yard. She has not yet learned to leash walk with any consistency. Her fears can cause her to dash out of doors or exit points so she'll need an adopter experienced with fearful dogs and willing to take all precautions needed to keep her safe. Her house training is going really well with her pacing and looking at us when she needs to potty. However, she's not perfect and will need continued positive reinforcement. Her crate is her safe space when she needs a break. She also loves to put her favorite toys in her crate.

Colette really is a super happy little dog just wanting that perfect family to help her blossom. She's spayed and up to date on all vaccinations
