Meet Posie 🌼If sunshine had paws and a little bounce to it… it would look a lot like Posie.At just 4 months old, this white-and-brown cutie is already stealing hearts with that perfectly placed brown spot over one eye and her sprinkle of freckles like she got kissed by a paintbrush. She’s expected to grow into a medium to large dog, and with her Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and pittie mix, she’s bringing a whole lot of love in one adorable package.Posie doesn’t just walk—she *prances*. There’s a little boing in every step, like she’s permanently on her way to something exciting (even if it’s just the food bowl or your lap). She’s a certified wiggle butt, full of happy energy and tail wags that start at her nose and ripple all the way back.She’s right in the learning phase of puppyhood and already off to a great start. Posie is doing well with the “sit” command and is working on potty training and crate training. She’s a smart girl who just needs someone ready to keep building on that foundation and help her grow into a well-mannered adult.And underneath all that bounce? A total sweetheart. Posie is affectionate, eager to please, and happiest when she’s near her people.If you’re ready for a joyful, wiggly, prancing little sidekick who will grow right alongside you… Posie is ready to plant herself firmly in your heart 🐾🌸Her adoption fee is $225 and this includes her spay, vaccines, flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchip that we register for you.

Floyd is treat motivated, so he's responsive to training. He LOVES to play and run, and is a super toy chewer dog!
