Hello, my name is Azucar Dolce.
I am a Xoloitzcuintli – a rare find in rescue! I weigh in at 21lbs and I am 2 years and 8 months old.
I came to Rescue Rovers with my puppies, who have all been adopted. Now it’s my turn!

I am a very shy girl. I’ve been in my foster home for 2 months and at this point I am very comfortable here. I know the routine, I love the other dogs, I’m comfortable with the humans. But I am still wary of too much contact. I am looking for a patient, loving home who will give me the time I need to settle in – but who will also help me through that process with a little gentle pressure to interact.
Foster mom says I am a “flight risk”. I don’t know anything about flying, but I will tell you that there are things that make me want to run away. Namely…anything that scares me. I didn’t have a lot of human contact before my life here, so I’m still getting used to people. You all are kind of loud and grabby, you know? I mean…you’re nice, so that’s good. But I’m just used to doing my own thing. Anyway, a home with a securely fenced yard is a must for me.
(ETA - little ones scare me. A lot. I am looking for a home with children no younger than 12.)

I am making good progress, tho! Recently I have begun to allow more of what you call “snuggles”. For me, that means about 2 minutes in your lap before I need to shake that love off. We’re building on that connection. I have also recently begun playing with the other dogs! Being with my pack is my favorite, and I am definitely looking for a home with another dog.

I love my crate – it’s so cozy and safe feeling! I’m doing well with potty training, too! Altho, if you’re a nervous girl, you know that sometimes scary things make us dribble just a little.I also love to play with toys and I’m very cute with them.
