About Crisco

Crisco is a striking mixed-breed Terrier who stands out for her plush grey fur with lighter accents. She arrived as a stray, but has quickly shown how clever and entertaining she can be—she’ll balance on her back legs for treats like she belongs in the ring. At around a year and a half old and fully grown, Crisco carries herself with an agile confidence and is a great size for a companion who enjoys adventure but won’t overwhelm you indoors. She lights up when treats are involved and shows real potential for activities like agility. Crisco’s experience with other dogs has been mixed; she formed a bond with a small female friend but tends to be reactive with male dogs. The shelter recommends a meet and greet with any current pets to ensure the right fit. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and her adoption includes a spay and microchip voucher. Born December 1, Crisco is a Sagittarius—always seeking a little excitement. Start your journey together! Apply now.
