Beautiful, playful and cuddly are how this sweet girl is described in our loving home. She was raised around our 2 other dogs that weren't easily accepting and she won over their hearts too! Our kids range from 19-25 currently, but she's also spent time with younger kids on babysitting visits with our daughter. She needs a family that has time to help her get energy out and loves the trails around our neighborhood. She has done well at dog parks meeting new dogs but could use some additional leash training since she hasn't been exposed to that regularly. She is spayed, vaccinated and has had vet visits as needed.
