About Laura

Laura is a sweet and energetic girl, full of love and gentle charm. At 1.5 years old, she weighs 41 pounds and is a medium-sized terrier-poodle mix with a beautiful black, curly coat. Laura gets along well with both large and small dogs; while she hasn't lived with cats, her intelligence suggests she could adjust with some time. We believe she would do fine with respectful children aged six and up, as she enjoys the company of all humans who show her affection. This lovely pup adores car rides, walks, and playing catch outside but equally enjoys snuggling at day's end. She's highly trainable, knowing how to "sit" and learning commands like "off" and "out." Laura is potty trained—she alerts her foster by barking at the back door when nature calls—and she can comfortably stay in her crate for around 6-8 hours a day without accidents. Laura sleeps in her dog bed in the master bedroom and has some playful, puppy-like energy. A fenced yard and a canine friend would be ideal for her to burn off some energy. Laura is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, including a clean bill of health for heartworm. With zero adoption fee for an approved adopter, she's ready for a new home.
