Looking for a pint-sized bundle of joy to brighten your life? Meet Candy!
Do you dream of coming home to 20 pounds of spring-loaded happiness? How about a dog who can do any puzzle you put in front of her? Looking for a couch warmer? Candy’s got you covered.
Candy is a 4-year-old chihuahua / basenji mix with a heart as sweet as her name. She’s incredibly smart and shows signs of prior training, but she’s looking for a patient and loving human to help her brush up on her manners and build her confidence. With consistent boundaries and guidance, she’ll truly shine.
She’s best as an only dog as she loves her own space to relax and she loves being the center of attention. She loves all the cuddles she can get! She happily retreats to her crate when she needs her alone time
Candy’s energy level is perfectly in tune with her people. Whether it’s a brisk power walk, a hiking adventure, or simply lounging on the couch, Candy is happiest when she’s near you. Be prepared for her excitement during transitions—like waking up or coming home—but once the initial zoomies are out, she’s ready to relax.
Candy would do best in a home with dog-savvy children and with humans who are retired, work from home, or have a flexible schedule. She doesn’t enjoy being left alone for long stretches.
If you’re ready to welcome a cinnamon-doughnut dog with a huge personality into your life, Candy is ready to meet you! Let’s make life sweeter together—reach out to meet Candy today!
