She loves to cuddle and love on you and has quickly turned into my shadow. She loves laying by you when you cook and likes to be a taste tester (on dog safe ingredients). She loves learning and exploring her environment. She's a big napper and the back of the couch is a favorite of hers. If you’re looking for a dog’s dog she's your girl! INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
