BIO:
Howdy, future fam! My name is Libbie, and I am ready to find love and be your devoted, affectionate princess! I have been waiting my whole life for a home to call my own: my first family took me in as a puppy but surrendered me to a shelter in Texas when I "outgrew their expectations" (whatever that means) and I have been hoping for a new family for more than a year. Thankfully Fetching Tails said yes to giving me a second chance and I have been LOVING life in a foster home instead of at an overcrowded shelter!

My foster family makes sure to give me lots of kisses and tell me as frequently as possible that I am the most beautiful and goodest girl around. It makes me so happy and I love to soak up their attention. I love all people I meet and am also kid friendly, but I think for now I would do best with older kiddos that I can't accidentally knock over when I am excited to greet my people with hugs when they get home. I actually have a pretty low/medium energy level in general, and other than exuberant greetings I am chill in the house. My favorite activities include playing fetch with balls, napping next to my people, and going for walks in this beautiful midwestern weather. I also love to spend time with my foster doggie sibling and we have a great time playing in the yard together. And did I mention how smart I am? I am already potty and crate trained, and know a few basic commands including sit, paw, and coming when my name is called. Fetching Tails requires adopters of young dogs like me to sign us up for training classes, and I think it would be a fun way for us to bond and enjoy learning while together. Plus I am a bit of a foodie, and hear that you can earn treats in class - yum!

I have been waiting a long time for you - will you make my dreams come true and make me a treasured part of your family? I hope the answer is yes and you fill out an adoption application soon!

XOXO,
Libbie

If you'd like to adopt this dog, please get started by filling out a complete application (incomplete submissions cannot be sent.) Please note that while we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care as possible, our bios are written from current observations. Though we do our best to share as much information as possible about each dog we care for, we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history, and information pertaining to breed and age are often educated guesses
