Swifty is a bright, affectionate, and adventurous girl who brings equal parts energy and heart to everything she does. She loves staying active- whether that's swimming, training, or exploring the world by your side- but she's just as happy winding down for snuggles once the fun is done.

Swifty may have been a fish in a past life because she loves the water and can't resist a good splash! She's always excited for toys, especially stuffies and enjoys activities that let her use her brain like puzzle toys and agility training.

Swifty thrives in an active home that can keep her mind and body engaged. She can happily entertain herself with toys, but she truly shines when she has opportunities to play, learn, and bond with her people and a friendly dog companion.

If you're looking for a smart, spirited, and loving side kick, Swifty is ready to meet you. Swifty's adoption fee is $300, and this fun girl is ready for her next adventure.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
