My story

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

Ruh-Roh! Mabel and I were caught running around on Culver Rd. and some nice people got us here safely! We're just puppies! We do get along well with other dogs! I'm pretty outgoing but I take a minute to warm up to new surroundings. We went to an event at Hops and Hounds the other day and I was a big hit. If I saw someone who I thought looked nice, I'd run to where they were sitting and plop down just like I belonged to them. I'm looking for my furever family where I can truly plop down and stay forever.
