Known for her adorable ears and a unique orange spot on her back that earned her the nickname Pumpkin, this sweet girl has plenty of love to offer. In her foster home, Adriana has proven to be incredibly smart and adaptable, picking up on training quickly. She is both house-trained and crate-trained, establishing a solid foundation for her future. With her energetic nature, she's eager to socialize and play, and she adores other dogs. An ideal home would allow her to interact with canine friends, whether that’s through playdates or having another playful companion at home. Adriana is as much a cuddle bug as she is playful.
