Adoption fee: $800 Meet Eclair — A Gentle Soul Learning to Trust   Quick Highlights: 1–2 years old Great with calm, respectful dogs Cat-friendly (very respectful!) Low–medium energy, loves lounging Blanket lover & cozy girl Learning to love walks     Eclair is a soft, sensitive little Maltipoo who came from a hoarding situation and is now discovering that the world can be safe, kind, and full of love.   When she first arrived, she was shut down— but with patience and gentle care, she has started to blossom in the most beautiful ways. She’ll quietly approach for pets, pause, and come back for more— choosing connection in her own time.       Personality   Eclair is is gentle and observant girl who is quietly affectionate in her own way. She's definitely curious about people and responds best to calm energy. She can be startled easily but is becoming braver by the day. Her foster dad has become her favorite human and seeing her approach him for pets or attention is adorable.     Daily Life   Eclair is making so much progress! She now recognizes that the leash = walks (she may hesitate, but she’s learning and curious!) and enjoys slow, calm walks as she is still gaining confidence outside. She loves lounging near her people (and watching TV!) and uses potty pads reliably and is working on outdoor potty skills (when on leash, as she does not have yard access.) She currently lives with another calm dog and appreciates the companionship. Another dog in her forever home isn't a must, but would be a plus.   Why Eclair?   She may not run up to you right away— but when she chooses you, it’s everything.   Eclair is the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds. Watching her grow in confidence, trust, and love is incredibly special— and her future family will get to be part of that journey.
