Meet Sabrina – A Gentle Spirit Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾 Sabrina is the kind of dog who makes you believe in soulmates. With her warm eyes and gentle heart, she has a way of making everyone she meets feel special. She loves to play—a good toy toss or a game of chase will always bring out her happy wiggles—but she’s just as content to curl up beside you for some quiet time and snuggles. What makes Sabrina truly shine is her balance of energy and affection. She’s spirited enough to enjoy walks, adventures, or backyard playtime, yet calm enough to savor lazy afternoons by your side. Sabrina is also incredibly food-motivated, which makes her a quick and eager learner—always ready to show off her progress for a tasty reward. Sabrina comes fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained, giving her a wonderful head start in her forever home. She’s attended professional training to polish her manners and skills, and she’s making fantastic strides. With her combination of smarts, structure, and sweetness, she’s ready to slot right into a loving routine. Beyond her playful spirit and training, Sabrina’s greatest gift is the way she bonds with her people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in daily life—whether that’s morning coffee on the porch, an afternoon walk, or a cozy movie night. She’s also a big fan of “doggie days out,” especially when a pup cup is involved! Sabrina has been patiently waiting for the right family to notice her. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will fill your days with love, laughter, and loyalty, Sabrina is ready to meet you. 💛 Sabrina’s Ideal Home: 💫 Best as the only dog (no cats, please) 🎓 Professionally trained and eager to please 🐶 Fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained ☀️ Loves outings, pup cups, and quality time with her people ❤️ Does best with structure, affection, and companionship
