About Madame Delacroix

Madame Delacroix brings warmth anywhere she goes. She’s endlessly affectionate and makes sure you feel it—she’ll sneak in kisses even in the middle of the night and doesn’t mind if it wakes you up. Snuggling is her favorite hobby. She’s happy as the little spoon or the big spoon, always delighted to curl up next to you and soak in your hugs right through the night. Don’t expect a jogging partner; slow strolls are more her style these days, and a thirty-minute walk around the block is her perfect pace. While her paperwork says she’s six, she might be closer to eight, which shows in her relaxed nature and those creaky hips—the only hint she’s carrying a little age. She mixes well with other dogs, especially those who prefer calm company, and she’s house trained. You’ll see flashes of her playful, goofy spirit too—she’ll sometimes try and bowl you over for hugs or pull a silly face just to make you laugh. At this stage, Madame Delacroix shouldn’t have to wait any longer to find the comfort of a real home. She’s pure charm wrapped up in a gray, silvery coat, ready to bring a little sunshine to your world. Make her second half her best yet. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
