Meet Zuni — a tiny, tender-hearted girl learning to be brave . Zuni is a 1-year-old rat terrier with the most soulful eyes and a beautifully unique coat, like she was carefully painted with love. At just 15 lbs. with her adorable docked tail, she's the perfect petite companion with a quiet presence that grows on you more each day. Zuni came from a rural shelter alongside her two sisters after being surrendered by a breeder. When she arrived, it was clear she had been severely under-socialized, and the world felt like a very big, overwhelming place. But since then, Zuni has been slowly discovering that people can be kind—and she's made incredible progress. She is still a very shy girl, and new situations can make her nervous. Zuni needs a home with a fenced-in back yard because she is not ready for leash walks, as being in environments where she doesn't feel in control can be frightening for her and she isn't ready to be leashed. She will need a patient, understanding home that's committed to continuing her socialization at her pace, with kindness and consistency leading the way. Despite her shyness, Zuni truly wants connection. She loves being around her people in a calm…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
