Meet Suzie—a sweet, thoughtful pup who may start off a little shy, but once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines through in the most heart-melting ways. She’s a Pass the Leash participant and a proud Hidden Gems Club member, earning her spot with her bright mind and big heart.

Suzie feels most at ease around her dog friends and is a regular in playgroup. She has already mastered sit, down, paw, up, off, tunnel, and loose-leash walking, and she’s currently working on spin, fetch, and drop it.
