This spunky girl enjoys playing outside with her canine friends but also loves getting cuddled by her people. She is the best of both worlds—adventure companion and cuddle buddy!Maggie gets along well with other dogs and would be a great addition to a family with one or more active canines already in residence. Maggie sometimes gets very excited so she would do best with older children in the home. She has not met cats yet. Maggie is crate trained and working on her leash training. She is a smart pup who loves to please, so she will surely pick these skills up quickly with the patience and consistency of her new family. The added bonus is that Maggie is housetrained and ready to move in with her forever family.

He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and carries himself with a friendly, regal composure that makes him a pleasure to be around.

This is Dani: This spunky girl has so much character! If you look at her videos when she’s trying to play she does this thing where she shakes her head. She sometimes looks like she’s telling me what’s up cause how she does her head nods. She jumps up with excitement like a very tiny bull. She runs around with confidence and loves to explore. The dogs barking at her don’t seem to bother her. She may even be patriotic lol!! 😂 She seemed to take a lot of interest in the flag and our soldier statue. :) Dani is the epitome of "blondes have more fun!!" So if you and your family are looking for a firecracker who loves her country and her friends, adopt her!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
