Beneath that shy first impression is a mellow, affectionate companion who enjoys being close to the people he trusts and soaking up their attention. His curiosity keeps him interested in the world around him, and as his confidence grows, he’s happy to explore and see what the day has in store. Ross has a soft, easygoing presence that makes earning his trust especially rewarding.

Evie 💎

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 7 yrs 11 mos

Sarasota, FL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Evie—playtime professional, and master cuddle bug. I'm happy to spend the day doing anything, so long as it's with you. I have been an excellent student during my stay at HSSC, mastering all the basics like "sit", "drop", and waiting patiently at doorways. I've developed some excellent leash manners; though I am occasionally excited by the rogue squirrel, I've found walks to be far more enjoyable when you stop and sniff the flowers. I love to explore and would be over the moon to have a walking buddy who’s up for some adventures. The staff and volunteers say I’m clever, full of life, and endlessly affectionate. I'm a sensitive girl still learning the ropes of independence; I consider myself to be somewhat of a homebody, and I would love the company of someone just like me. My friends here say I'd make an excellent work-from-home companion, whatever that means. Sounds like fun though! If you’re looking for a joyful, goofy sidekick who’s equal parts fun and love, I just might be your match. Let’s build something special together—starting with a game of fetch and ending with forever.
