Although I might be on the calm side, my personality is so vibrant because of how much love I have to share.WHAT I LOVE: I LOVE to cuddle. It’s pretty much my favorite thing in the world. Short walks outside with tons of snuggles in between steps sounds like the perfect day for me! If I am spending time with my people, I am the happiest girl in the world!KIDS: The shelter staff thinks I would do just fine with dog savvy kids that are gentle with me.OTHER DOGS: While I am not going to run around and play with other dogs, I don’t mind them as long as they are respectful of my space and don’t jump on me. I would be happy with another dog my speed – calm, gentle, and respectful.CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: Someone that will love me, snuggle with me, and show me how great life can be!
