She’s fully house-trained, has wonderful manners, and truly just wants to be close to her people as much as possible. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate dog to keep you company, she’s your girl.Guava would do best as the only dog in the home—she prefers not to share the spotlight and thrives when she can soak up all the attention. She’s not a fan of the crate or being left home alone, so a family is around often (or works from home) would be ideal for her comfort and happiness.She walks nicely on leash, is polite when it comes to dinner time and is a big snuggle bug who will absolutely want to sleep in bed with you—her favorite place is right by your side Guava has so much love to give and is ready to find a home where she can truly relax and be adored. Interested? She would love to meet you.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog.Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background.
