62 lb. spayed female, approx 10 months old

-This young gal would love to find a place of her own. She's a little stressed in the shelter environment.
-She's been showing us her playful side and enjoys toys
-She likes to lean her whole body into you for pets and attention
-She likes treats and knows "sit"...although she is inconsistent with it still and needs more practice
-She will definitely need some time and patience out of this place to decompress
-She has been in playgroup and did well with several different dogs. Even though she appears dog friendly, slow intros after a decompression period are a must for success!

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.
