Meet Bougie, a sweet, playful 1-year-old girl with a big heart and a great personality! Bougie is a fun-loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures in life: squeaky toys are her absolute favorite, and she will happily lean in for all the head pets you are willing to give. Bougie's Ideal Match Kids: She previously lived with children aged 7 to 16 and loved it! She would likely do wonderfully living with kids in that age range again. Other Dogs: Bougie needs to be the only dog in her next household so she can soak up all your love and attention as the star of the show. Cats: She has successfully lived with a cat in the past and may do well living with one again. Any resident cats should have a designated safe space, and adopters should be prepared for a slow, gradual introduction. If you are looking for a fun, affectionate dog to bring joy to your life, Bougie might just be your perfect match! Contact us today to learn more about meeting her. Ready to Adopt?
