ABOUT ME: I'll admit it, I'm a little shy at first. But stick around a few days and you'll meet the real me: zoomies everywhere, toys flying, stuffing evicted from anything squeaky. I collect socks like treasure, I greet my favorite people with actual hugs, and I would trade almost anything for rotisserie chicken. I get braver every week, and fair warning: your socks are now part of my collection.
MY FOSTER SAYS: "She hugs me when she first gets out of her kennel in the morning and when I get home from work."

Immortelle is from the island of Dominica; no information about her history before she was rescued is available. She traveled to Brooklyn in late June 2026.

Immortelle is a gentle, sweet-natured girl who doesn't hand out her whole personality at once. She gives it slowly, and it lasts. She's still finding her footing in the city and stays on the shy side while she does. Underneath the reserve, though, is a genuine goofball with a big playful streak.
Mornings are her moment. She tosses toys in the air, tears around in happy zoomies, and methodically evicts the stuffing from anything squeaky. She hoards socks (for collecting, never chewing) and greets her favorite people with real, two-paws-up hugs. At the park she zooms around on a long line and, when she's especially delighted, launches straight up like she's spring-loaded.
She warms up at her own pace. She's bonded closely with her foster and wins over women quickly, recently eating treats right out of a guest's hand. Men take longer, though she's making steady progress and isn't reactive, just shy. She's been sweet with children who approach her calmly. Other dogs are a growing joy: she loves being chased and has zoomed happily with new park friends, though she can be shy at first, so a confident canine companion could help her blossom. She met a cat once and was curious but nervous, with no urge to chase.
Immortelle is house trained and a dream on leash most of the time, though unfamiliar things on the sidewalk can still spook her. She adores her crate and is an enthusiastic early riser, and she's recently found her big-girl bark for noises outside the door.
Patient people, consider yourselves warned: the hugs are habit-forming.
