Ohhhhh Topaz. 🥹 This girl is the kind of happy that spills out of her. She's the sweetest, most pleasant little ray of sunshine... and then BAM - full-on GOOFY. Emphasis on goofy. The kind of goofy that makes you laugh out loud on a random Tuesday. She's got that wiggly, playful, "life is the best thing ever" energy, but wrapped in the softest, most submissive temperament. She doesn't just play - she commitssss to the bit.Topaz would absolutely thrive in a family. She's gentle, easygoing, and so eager to please. The kind of dog who would happily be your kids' sidekick, your backyard zoomie partner, and your couch snuggle buddy all in one day. She's playful without being overwhelming, sweet without being shy - just a lovely, happy-hearted girl ready to be someone's everything.✨ Topaz at a Glance: • 💎 Extra sweet & people-loving • 🤪 GOOFY (yes, in all caps) • 🎾 Loves to play • 🐾 Submissive & gentle • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Would be wonderful for a family • 💕 Eager to please & easy to loveTopaz isn't just a good dog - she's a feel-good dog. The kind that makes your home lighter the moment she walks in. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 46.2 Age: 1yrs 2mths 1wks
