She's an adorable, pint-sized sweetheart with an infectious personality. In her foster home, she has been friendly with dogs, cats, and people alike, proving to be a natural entertainer. While she may not sing, her quirks will dance their way into your heart. If you linger outside, Shirley will patiently sit and wait. She loves hopping into the shower with her humans and drinking from the bathtub faucet like a cat. Watching a leaf dance in the wind can entertain her for ages. With a stunning black coat and bright, loving eyes, this little lady would make a perfect addition to an active family looking for companionship. Puppies are undeniably adorable, but they require dedication, patience, and training. Medium-sized dogs often live 12-16 years, so you’ll want to be ready for a long-term commitment.

She's made great strides in house-training and just needs some consistency to finish the job. Be ready for adventures with this effervescent girl who has plenty of energy!
