My story

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

So, here's the thing about Love: she's a goofy, affectionate, multifaceted queen. Love lives up to her name. She's affectionate, goofy, and full of personality. She's the kind of dog who keeps you on your toes and fills your life with laughter and energy. If you're ready for a bold-hearted companion with a one-of-a-kind spark, Love might just be your perfect match-dog friends optional. She's smart and eager to please, as demonstrated by her ability to sit obediently. Toys and treats are both important to her, so be sure to have lots of them!

During doggie playgroups, we learned that Love may not be every dogs cup of tea, but she's 100% unforgettable. This bold, confident girl has big energy and zero hesitation. In a group setting, she found a little chemistry with fellow goofball male, but one-on-one, she tends to take charge... and not all dogs are into that. She's best matched with the most confident, tolerant dogs, or those with a similarly wild, over-the-top play style who can match her vibe without taking offense.

Love enjoyed a fun-filled daycation that showcased her adventurous side and sweet nature. She was an expert at getting in and out of the car and rode calmly, quietly observing the journey with curiosity. Upon arriving at the greenway trail, Love was energetic and eager to explore, leading the way with enthusiasm and a sense of purpose. Love was unfazed by the busy trail where we crossed paths with runners, bikers, strollers - even the rumble of group of bikes crossing a wooden bridge did not phase her. She showed no reactivity toward other dogs, instead viewing all as potential playmates.

Love's adventurous spirit continued to shine through as she explored the trail, suggesting she'd make a great hiking companion or even a running buddy. After the walk, she thoroughly enjoyed a pup cup and was ready for another. At the pet store, she welcomed affection from strangers, happily accepting pets and leaning into booty rubs. She did not seem to have much interest in toys or treats.

If you're interested in learning more about her, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Love 260001".

She is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be spayed prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
