Story
Howlo! I’m Safari! I’m a happy little puppy looking for a family to grow up with! There’s so much I’m excited to try: playing in the yard, exploring new places, and finding out just how many toys we can fit in one basket. I’ll be happy to help take them all back out. Between adventures, I’m hoping there will be plenty of time for snuggles. Having people of my very own to curl up beside sounds pretty wonderful. Since I’m still a puppy, I’ll need a patient family to help me learn things like housetraining, walking on a leash, and which things are actually mine to chew. With gentle guidance, practice, and a few treats, we’ll have lots to celebrate together! If you’re ready for puppy fun and a sweet girl to share your days with, please contact Mary’s Dogs and ask for me, Safari!
