If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly: yes

Kid Friendly: yes currently living in a home with children ages 4 through 12.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Ages 4 and up with appropriate supervision as these are small puppies with very sharp teeth and very high energy.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? She's the cuddliest one of the bunch. She enjoys climbing up onto you when you duck down to say hi to her she will climb up to say hi back. She loves to lick my husband's beard almost as if she's cleaning him.

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.
