She is a little shy at first and can take a little bit to warm up but once she warms up she will show so much love. She loves snuggling, cuddling and belly rubs. She is the ultimate door greeter and is so excited to say hello to her people. She is quirky and has a lot of personality. For example she will roll around with a treat for awhile before she decides she can eat it. Mamie is playful and cannot not turn down a squeaky toy. She is not much of a morning gal, so she will not be your 5am wake up call. She is an excelent napper. Mamie likes her kennel and tends to take herself to her kennel for naps or finds your lap. She loves walks and does very well on a leash. She is very dog and cat friendly; even when her foster siblings are not very nice to her she just takes the cue and walks away. Mamie is potty trained and will go to the door and tell you when she has to go. She has a history of kidney stones so she is on a special dog food to prevent anymore from forming. She is also currently on apoquel for allergies. Mamie came to us with some medical needs, but even when she was in pain she showed us her loving side. Her medical stuff has been figured out and she is looking for her forever home!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org December 9, 2025, 7:39 pm

Story
Say hello to this joyful, energetic girl. She is full of love, and is sure to be a loyal, compassionate companion. She enjoys spending time in a fenced in yard, where she is free to run and play. She is wonderful with kids, too! Friendly, patient, and happy to be involved in the fun whether it’s play time or cuddle time. She has grown up with her sister, Sophie, and would do well if you wanted double the fun by adopting them together, but would also do well on her own too.

Story
We are looking to rehome our Blue Heeler due to our growing family — we are about to have three kids, and we can’t give him the level of time and attention this incredible breed requires. He is very smart, loyal, and loves having a job. Heelers need structure, activity, and mental stimulation. He would do best with a home that has space to run and someone who understands working breeds.
