Hi there! I’m an adventurous, happy-go-lucky pup looking for my forever family! ?

I’m crate trained like a champ—no fuss, no drama. Potty training is coming along great, too! My people are teaching me to boop a bell when I need to go out (sometimes they miss my hints, but I still love them ??).

Leash walks? Oh yeah—I’m into those! I go on a couple of mile-long walks every day, and I love the fresh air and all the sniffs. I do pull a little and sometimes like to chomp the leash but I’m learning! I still jump a bit when I’m excited, but I’m working on my manners.

I’m cool with cats and respectful of older dogs. When my senior dog friend tells me to chill, I listen after a single “bork!” ?

I’d be an amazing buddy for someone who loves to hike, camp, and explore. Loud noises and surprises don’t scare me one bit—seriously, a pheasant exploded out of the grass once and I barely blinked. I don’t mind getting wet and I’m super curious about water. Oh, and tennis balls and sticks? OBSESSED. ??

If you’re ready for a fun, outdoorsy best friend with a big heart and goofy grin, I’m your girl!
