My story

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

Kellie is a young, retired mama who’s officially ready to be the one getting all the love - and she’s very good at it. She’s a one-of-a-kind mix of playful goofball and expert cuddle partner, equally happy chasing a ball in the yard or curling up beside you for the coziest snuggle sessions.

Kellie loves playing fetch, rolling over for belly rubs, and soaking up attention from her people. She already knows sit, paw, up, and down, and her foster describes her as a smart, eager learner who enjoys engaging with her humans. She’s calm in the home, fully house-trained, and does well both crated and loose in the house. When left alone, she settles nicely and waits for her people to return.

She’s friendly and confident meeting new people - including kids as young as seven - and rides calmly in the car. On walks, Kellie does well on leash and enjoys getting out and about! With her loving heart, playful spirit, and affectionate nature, Kellie is ready for a forever home where she can finally relax, be spoiled, and return every ounce of love she’s given in her life so far - and then some. 💛
