Story

A 3 year old American terrier, with the sweetest personality, she’s very active and playful but also loves to cuddle and have nap time- very friendly to others, kids, and other animals- she was raised with a kitty and a small Malshi and they love each other dearly! She’s very loyal and will stay by your side forever. We have to get rid of her due to moving complications but she’s living with my parents as of the time. They don’t want to keep her forever but they’re willing to let her stay until we find a home for her.

Her and her family were surrendered to precious paws by someone who was trying to breed golden doodles and realized they were in over their head and asked for help. Ivory is sweet, loving, playful, and affectionate. She enjoys being around people and loves getting attention, but she’s also happy to settle down and enjoy some quiet time. She does great with other dogs and loves having furry friends around. She’s at that perfect age where she’s still playful and curious, but she’s also beginning to develop into the wonderful young dog she’ll become. With a loving family, some patience, and plenty of affection, Ivory is going to make someone an amazing companion. She’s ready to leave puppyhood behind with a family who will love her through all of life’s adventures and give her the forever home she deserves. If you think that may be you please contact us!
