Sugar is a spirited, affectionate girl with a serious passion for toys! You can almost hear her saying, "Come play with me!" She is a bundle of joy who thrives on playtime, especially fetch, tug-of-war, and a good bone to chew. She’s always excited to meet new people and has an energetic personality that fills every room with life and laughter.
Sugar would do well as an only dog or in a home with a larger, playful male dog. She has previously lived with cats and done well. She’d love to have a fenced in yard to romp around in! She is smart girl and knows basic commands like SIT and SHAKE.
Sugar is incredibly affectionate and aims to please her humans. After a day of hiking or playing, Sugar’s favorite place is right next to you on the couch, snuggled up and content. She is also house and crate trained. She is exceptionally quiet in her crate even if there is a lot of excitment going on around her.
If you're looking for a fun, loving, and loyal companion with a big heart and even bigger personality, Sugar is your girl!
