Meet Etta Place — a walking, breathing comfort item. Emotionally, she’s a cinnamon roll. Spiritually, she’s cheesecake. Vibe-wise? A warm cup of coffee that doesn’t judge you for still being in pajamas at 2 PM. Etta is that rare mix of playful and calm, gliding into your life with the grace of a gentle breeze. She’ll test the waters, attach herself to your routine, and make your home feel like the cozy haven it was always meant to be. At only 5 months old and weighing 23 lbs, Etta is a delightful Lab mix with a personality that could light up any room. Born into rescue after her mama, Belle Starr, was saved from the urgent list while very pregnant, Etta has a unique backstory that will tug at your heartstrings. She was adopted but recently returned, and it turns out this sweet pup truly thrives with a playful dog to lean on. She’s a pro at taking cues from her canine buddies, and watching her blossom in their company is a spectacle you won’t want to miss. Sometimes, dogs just need other dogs! Etta is the kind of girl who prefers to read the vibe of the room before she dives in. She’s a tiny emotional detective, assessing her surroundings like a seasoned professional. Once she decides you’re trustworthy, be prepared for all the kisses and absolutely no respect for personal space! And kids? Oh, she’s obsessed! Having already befriended a four-year-old, she’s on official ‘best friends’ duties and ready for endless games of tag followed by cozy cuddles. Talk about having a loyal sidekick! While Etta is a connoisseur of fun, she’s also intrigued by the feline mystery. Though she hasn’t lived with cats, she’d likely just give them a swift acknowledgment before moving on with her day—very “I see you, all good now!” energy. On the energy scale, Etta sits around a 7 out of 10. She’s playful and enthusiastic without being a bundle of chaos. Whether it’s frolicking in the yard or enjoying long walks, Etta loves to explore, but she also knows the joy of curling up on the couch once her zoomies are done. An adventure dog? A homebody? Why not both! She’s got a zest for life but also enjoys being your personal cuddle loaf, always ready to be physically close. A securely fenced yard would be her paradise, though she’s adaptable if she gets her exercise and supervised leash walks. Apartment living may pose challenges, as she sometimes has opinions to share! Thankfully, she’s already learned commands like sit, down, wait, and come—quite impressive for a cozy cinnamon roll navigating this big, beautiful world! Etta is potty trained but, being young, she’ll need regular potty breaks. If left alone for a long day, she might remind you that she’s still a puppy, not a robot, so fair warning! She’s cool with a kennel if it’s cozy and stuffed with toys. Usually a casual commentator, she’ll pitch a fit if left in her crate while her dog pals are out and about—because FOMO is very real in Etta’s world. Overall, she’s a delightful, fun-loving puppy who simply needs someone to believe in her. With love, consistency, and a sprinkle of humor, she’ll blossom into the kind of dog that makes you say, “This is my soul dog, and I’m so thrilled I found her!” So, if you’re looking for a cozy, funny, emotionally supportive cinnamon roll of a dog who reads the room and would thrive alongside a playful dog sibling—Etta Place is ready to be your girl! If you think you might be THE ONE, please apply to adopt her through the Buddy App, because no application means no Etta—it's that simple. Pickup will be in OKC, so please factor that into your plans before falling madly in love. Etta is ready. All that’s left is you, an application, and a little bit of commitment. And trust, she’s undeniably worth it! 💛
