And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. And she'll want quality kibble and a cushy dog bed.Most of all, though, she wants to know she's safe and loved. In exchange she promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags she's storing up, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Does Delight have a spot in your home and your heart?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care.
Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!
