About Verdi

Meet Verdi! This affectionate Terrier mix is a delightful companion who adores being close to her people. If you're looking for a professional snuggler, Verdi is your girl. She loves curling up against you, often pressing her head right into your neck for ultimate cuddle sessions. Mostly house trained and crate trained, Verdi settles well in her crate when it's time to relax but also knows how to enjoy her quiet time. When she’s not snuggling, she delights in playtime with squeaky toys and balls, and she especially enjoys fetch. Watching her play-wrestle with the resident dogs is absolutely adorable. Verdi is great with kids and brings a perfect blend of playful energy and affection to any family. However, her future family should note her resource-guarding tendencies around high-value items like toys and food. Adopters need to be prepared for positive training to help her manage this behavior, respecting her boundaries is key. Verdi is a loving girl with a big heart, eager to find a family where she can snuggle, play fetch, and be your very best friend. Start your journey together! Apply now.
