Howdy, friends! My name is Renee, and I'm a blue-eyed beauty with a big heart and an even bigger personality! I'm here to keep you laughing, moving, and feeling loved every single day.
Not too much is known about my past, but I'm so grateful to be safe and surrounded by amazing human friends who are helping me shine. I love being around people and will happily follow you from room to room just to stay close - I'm basically your little shadow with a tail! When I'm not cuddled next to you, you'll find me lounging in the yard, playing fetch like a champ, or enjoying a nice walk to get my energy out.
Speaking of energy, I do have some "puppy vibes" still - I'm playful, curious, and always up for an adventure. I would thrive with active, patient humans who can help guide me as I grow into the best girl I can be. Hiking buddy? I'm in. Training partner? Even better! I'm super smart and very food- and praise-motivated, which makes me a quick learner in training classes (which Fetching Tails requires for us young pups - and I'm ready to impress!).
I also love my crate! I settle in easily for naps or quiet toy time when it's time to rest. And although I'm still mastering house training, I'm this close to having it down - just give me a little time to get used to your routine. I'm also a power chewer for my size, but no worries: I stick to my bones and toys like a good girl.
I do well with other dogs once I've had slow, proper introductions in a neutral space - after that, I'm ready to play and share toys with my new pals. Because I'm still working on my manners, I'd do best in a home with older kids for now, and I'd prefer a home without kitty cats.
If you're ready for a sweet, silly, and loyal girl to add some sugar and spice to your life, I'm your pup! Come meet me soon - I can't wait to show you how awesome I am.
