She loves meeting people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a fantastic companion for families and multi-dog homes. While she has shown some minor food guarding, this is understandable after only being out of the shelter for a few days and should improve with time and patience.

Her sweet and brave nature will shine even brighter as she continues to adjust and reveal more of her wonderful personality. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
