About Baby

Baby is a special lady who doesn’t require fancy tricks or a lot of fuss. She’s house trained and knows how to sit; when left alone, she behaves like a perfect companion without needing a crate. What she truly desires is a loving home where she can spend time with her people. Baby enjoys lounging on the couch and of course, the bed—after all, who would choose the floor when a cozy bed is available? In the neighborhood, Baby is a calm explorer, taking her time on walks, though she may voice her thoughts upon spotting certain dogs. She’s confident around other pups and is curious about dogs of all sizes. Baby is good with older kids and teens, but younger children aren’t her favorite. As for cats, we’re still figuring that one out! With so much going for her, including knowing "sit," a love for toys, and a hearty appetite, Baby is almost through her heartworm treatment. She does find stairs and slippery floors a bit challenging, so a home that allows her to take things at her own pace would be ideal. Will you be the one to give this gem of a dog her happy ever after? Click apply to start the adoption process.
