Meet Crunchy, an 10-month-old black lab mix with the floppiest ears and the cutest smile. Her wiggly nature and endless happiness make her the perfect bundle of joy. Crunchy loves meeting new people and has a knack for showering them with love and kisses. Running and playing are her favorite activities, and she brings a burst of energy and cheerfulness wherever she goes. She loves playing with other dogs, is almost house trained and does well in the crate overnight! She has been around older children and did very well; enjoyed attention but was comfortable when not receiving it. She was in a temporary foster home with her doggy friend Stuart and got great reviews! Regarding children, the foster said 'We have a total of 6, but they mostly were around the 13-, 16- and 17-year-olds. The pups were great and playful with all. They loved attention, but weren't needy. We would be outside watching them, and whenever they got tired of chasing each other, they would just come lay down by us.'
Ideal Home: An ideal home for Crunchy would be one that is looking for an active dog to be a friend to theirs or to integrate into an active lifestyle. Crunchy has a resting side when she is done playing so she is not energetic all the time but would need a home that is wanting a playful and active dog.
