And if you give her a good booty scratch, you’ll have her heart forever!

She’s fiercely loyal and will quickly become your little shadow, following you around with curious eyes and a wagging tail. Evie’s Perfect Home: • An active family who can keep up with her energetic spirit. • A home where she can be the center of attention and snuggle as much as her heart desires. • Someone who appreciates a vocal, playful pup who isn’t shy to express herself.
