Scrunchy is one funny and sweet doggie. And this girl is being crowned the "Zoomie Queen" in the play yard. She has got some speed and energy. But after all those laps around, she is so ready for love and affection.

She recently went on a field trip and here's the report .... "Warning: snuggles incoming! Scrunchy greeted everyone with a full-body wiggle and gives gentle hugs to those she knows. She loved our trail walks but was also happy to come in, explore the toy selection, and chew contentedly. She asks for pets and rubs every chance she gets. Scrunchy managed on her own without whimpering or showing signs of distress when I needed to leave her momentarily and didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to when exploring the house. She doesn’t pull on the lead and is a very easy walker. (Squirrels and such caught her attention, but she didn’t pull towards them and was responsive to queues.) She needed encouragement to get into the car but settled down once there. Cutest of all: she gradually brought every toy to her bed, and after playing, fell asleep on all of them. Scrunchy is a great pal for someone looking for lots of reliable affection and a walking buddy."

Scrunchy is a very lovely doggie with a heart of gold. She has that awesome doggie play energy, but she also adores being close and getting love. What a perfect combination. So, race on and meet Scrunchy soon. She is very ready for a loving home.

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.
