About Suki

This could be the start of something paw-some. Suki has the most wonderful temperament. This girl is going to be hard to pass up. At 4 years old and 48.2 pounds, she's fully grown and well past the puppy stage. This sweet, gentle girl is ready to bring her light to a loving home and will make a wonderful companion to just about any family lucky enough to call her their own. Suki has done very well with other dogs since arriving here at HSOC. She has not shown any reactions and tends to be gentle and submissive in her interactions with other dogs. We are unsure of her feelings about cats at this time, though we imagine she'll do well and we will happily cat-test her upon request. She also loves all affection and has a calm, gentle nature, so we believe she would do well with children. As always, a meet-and-greet is required for any dogs or kids in the home to ensure a good fit for everyone. When you come to meet Suki, you might find her in lounge-mode in her room or enjoying a quick zoomie session outside taking in the day. If you're looking for a kind-hearted, steady companion to share your home with, Suki may be the perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
