Meet Licorice, the charming canine companion who’s just waiting to steal your heart! ❤️ This delightful mixed breed, born in May 2023, weighs about 50 lbs and sports a stunning black coat adorned with a dazzling white star on his chest. A real head-turner, don't you think? Licorice got his sweet name from his foster mom's favorite candy, and just like that treat, he’s sure to add some flavor to your life! 🍬 But first, let’s talk about Licorice's remarkable story. Abandoned in a cardboard box with his six sisters in East Texas back in June 2023, this pup knew hard times. Left hot, thirsty, and a little grumbly from a rocky diet, miracles happen! 🌟 A compassionate Good Samaritan found them and called on Cody's Friends Rescue, where the family bond was rekindled under one caring foster roof. While his sisters have moved on to their furever homes, Licorice is still waiting for the perfect match. In his foster home, Licorice enjoys the company of his forever human family and his best pals, including Conway, a playful pit bull/lab mix, and the adorable Mia, who shares his adventurous spirit. His favorite color? Green—just check out that fabulous collar! 🌿 Energetic and playful, Licorice loves to rock 'n roll with squeaky toys and engage in tug-o-war with those cheeky rope toys. He’s quite the enthusiastic chewer, hence the necessity for ample chew toys like yak sticks and hooves to keep him happily occupied. But don't let all that energy fool you! After an active play session, this cuddle bug can’t resist settling on the couch for some well-deserved belly rubs. 🥰 Now, Licorice is incredibly inquisitive, so watch out! His playful spirit occasionally leads him into a bit of mischief—like digging in the veggie garden (oops!) and stealing socks. But hey, who could resist those puppy-dog eyes when he sheepishly wags his tail afterward? Social interactions, especially with new canine friends at the dog park, can be a tad overwhelming for Licorice. So this handsome boy would thrive best as an only dog or perhaps with one carefully chosen buddy. He has his own quirks, but isn't that what makes pets so special? Plus, he has an uncanny knack for keeping track of how many treats you’ve got stashed away! 🍖 Affectionate and kid-friendly, Licorice is crate trained, house trained, fully vetted, microchipped, and neutered. With all those charms, who wouldn’t want him? So, are you ready to invite this bundle of joy into your life?
