Poetry in motion--that's our girl, Haiku! She's got places to be, and she's looking for a BFF to take along with her on adventures. Haiku is a sweet and sporty young dog whose playful, curious, sweet nature is undeniable from the moment you meet her. She's a smart cookie who already knows some tricks and has been working on great leash manners on walks. Her favorite activities here are hikes with our volunteers and attending doggie playgroup; she would love having a buddy to chase backyard squirrels with! This short-coated beauty would be a great companion for a family with teens or adults. Our volunteers report that she is a great car rider and will be a perfect co-pilot, wherever life takes you. There's no time like the present to get inspired by this lovely lady: come let Haiku steal your heart today!
