Posey is a beautiful black and white (around) 4 month old puppy! We adopted Posey and her sister from the shelter over two weeks ago but we quickly learned that due to our full time working schedules, we couldn’t handle having two puppies at once. We love them both already though and can’t decide ourselves, so we decided to put both up for rehoming and let others decide for us. Posey is smart, cuddly, and super playful. She loves pumpkin, chasing the flirt pole, and her training sessions with lots of treats!
