Meet Saphie, a young, energetic gal who loves long and frequent walks. Saphie is a quick study who knows how to sit and come when called. She knows when it’s time for a walk when she hears the jingle of her leash, she will wait for her leash to be clipped to her. She is an affectionate snuggle bug who thinks she’s a lap dog, and your lap is where she likes to be. She loves attention and lots of belly rubs. Saphie enjoys playing with other dogs who match her energy level. Saphie adores people, and she would love a family where she can get daily doses of attention and play sessions. She can be home alone for a few hours, and she would benefit from an owner who can continue her crate training to make her more confident when she’s alone.
Are you Saphie’s loving home? You might be if you’re an experienced owner who lives in a home with adults-only or older children who are comfortable playing with a young, active dog. If you have time to spend walking and exercising with Saphie each day, you might just be the perfect fit for her!
