What I Need in a Forever Home:

• To live with a confident, friendly dog (essential for his comfort)

• A calm, quiet household with patient adopters

• A secure, fully fenced yard for safe exploration

• Support while he continues learning

Hi everyone, I’m Baguette, a timid dog who’s still learning what it means to live in a world full of humans. I had a devastating start to my life — I came from a hoarding case where I was severely neglected, leaving me with emotional scars and a deep fear of the world. Because of this, I’m very nervous. I’m easily startled by sudden sounds or movements and unsure about things like leashes, people, or even what “pets” are — but beneath that shyness is a genuinely loving dog just waiting for patience and kindness to help me blossom.

I find comfort in plushy toys that I carry around when I’m nervous, and I rely heavily on other dogs for reassurance. Being around a confident dog helps me feel safe and calm — having a dog friend isn’t just helpful for me, it’s essential.

I can get spooked when I’m outside, so a fully fenced yard is a must. It gives me a safe space to explore, relax, and begin to understand the world without fear. Even in my foster home, I’m still learning about life outside and what it means to feel secure in new situations.

I would thrive in a patient, quiet home where progress is slow, gentle, and celebrated. I’m still figuring out housetraining and leash skills, but with consistency, guidance, and a calm environment, I have so much potential to grow and thrive.

If you can offer me a patient, understanding home, a secure yard, and — most importantly — a confident dog companion, you might just be the person I’ve been waiting for. Could you be the warm, understanding home I need?
