My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who loves quality time and cuddles? I’ll give you a hint, she’s a sweet and fun dog with tons of love to give. You guessed it, it’s Mama Claus! She enjoys playing with stuffed toys and napping but not as much as she enjoys spending time with people. She is great in the car and she understands basic commands. Sit, Stay, Off- she’s mastered those. She is absolutely house trained and will let you know when she needs to go out. She is perfect in the yard but does need a fence at least 6 foot tall. Mama loves to be with people and enjoys cuddling all day and night. She will sleep by herself as long as she is near you. Mama is great with older children and has not been reactive to other dogs. She has been lonely since her puppies have all found loving homes recently and she is without them. She needs a patient caregiver who will give her time to settle in and support her as she navigates all the new things. She is approximately 2 years old and ready for someone to spend time with. Is it you?
