Lotus 🌸
Named after the flower that rises and blooms beautifully despite the mud, Lotus is a quiet testament to resilience. Pulled from a rural shelter, she didn’t know at first that people could be kind. When she arrived at her foster home, she was unsure and fearful—but with patience, gentle care, and time, Lotus has started to trust and show her true self.
Like her name, she is slowly but surely blooming.
Lotus is good with other dogs, crate trained, and pee pad trained. She finds comfort in the presence of canine companions and would do well in a home that understands she may need a little extra time to feel safe. At this time, Lotus is not a cuddler, but as she continues to build trust, she may grow into enjoying that closeness.
She is also not an apartment-type dog. Lotus will need a home where she can move at her own pace and feel secure before being introduced to things like walks and busier environments.
Lotus is looking for a patient and understanding family—one willing to let her open up on her own timeline, just as her foster mom has done. With love and consistency, she will continue to grow into something truly beautiful.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
