My story

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

The Butterfly-Chasing Guardian

A loyal heart with a spring in her step, Suki will make your world feel grounded and bright! She's confident when she’s keeping watch and lighthearted when the work is done. When she's off duty, you’ll find her rolling in the grass, trotting after butterflies, settling down for long indoor naps, and giving herself a daily back massage on her favorite “tickle tree.”

What Makes Her Shine: loyal, steady, eager to follow your lead.

A Day in the Life: Wake up, BIG STRETCH, rushing outside to greet the birds and the bees, breakfast, a slow on-leash morning stroll, followed by a long loungey indoor nap, some more outdoor patrolling, maybe a yummy marrow bone, more naps, being brushed (and adored), dinner, maybe a light jog or trail adventure, finishing the evening with some quiet porch time.

Her Pet Peeves: crowded or chaotic spaces, surprise introductions (she appreciates slow, polite hellos from new people), sharing her person with other pets or young kids, and swimming (unless she thinks you need rescuing).

The Way to Win Her Over: melon and blueberries

Skills: crate, leash, and muzzle trained • reliable recall • great house manners Commands: sit, come, wait, stay, down, back, out, off, paw, crate

Best Fit: an adults-only, low-traffic home (ideally rural) with a devoted human who appreciates a smart, protective companion with a little sparkle in her eye.

Suki's ready to get off the apps and meet her perfect match! Reach out today to set up a first date (porch hang + short walk).

Not able to adopt? A quick share to your ranch or rural circles might help Suki find her dream home.
