My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Licorice! This pup, along with his mom (Amara) and 10 other siblings, transferred to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility at 6 days of age!
Licorice is a sweet & sensitive boy who loves to play with his fellow littermates and tons of toys! He loves to hang out with his people as well and will do best in a home that can provide him with lots of love and encouragement.

Check out Amara & pups' rescue story here:
