Spice is the perfect mix of excited energy and soulful snuggles. Whether she's doing a happy dance because you just walked through the door or curling up into your lap for a movie marathon, she just wants to be where the love is. Home Manners House Trained: Spice is a pro! As long as she's kept on a consistent schedule, she's a golden student of the "potty outside" rule. The Shy Side: Like many petite pups, Spice can be a little bashful when meeting new faces. Give her just a few minutes to sniff things out, and she'll be your best friend for life. Social Life: She has a history of playing well with other dogs her size. She'd love a home with a similar small-breed companion or to be your one-and-only star. The Fine Print Age: 3 years young Kids & Cats: Spice hasn't lived with feline friends or children yet. Because of her initial shyness, she would likely do best in a home that can move at her pace.
