Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Twyla, a gorgeous girl with a heart full of love and energy! Though she may have had a challenging start, Twyla has quickly blossomed into a happy, affectionate little dynamo who will melt your heart. This playful athlete has a unique way of showing her excitement-she can pogo like a kangaroo when it's meal time and will eagerly stand on her hind legs, paws in the air, to ask for something she wants.
Twyla is incredibly affectionate with her friends and especially enjoys the company of other small dogs, as well as food and toys (she's quite the foodie!). While she's still working on potty training and refining her dog walk manners, she's highly treat motivated and eager to learn.
This spunky girl would thrive in a home with older children and other small dogs who can keep up with her boundless energy. She would do best in an active environment where she can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Twyla is a wonderful car companion, perfectly content to ride along on outings, and she's sure to turn heads wherever she goes!
After a good jog or play session (she'd make an excellent exercise buddy!), Twyla is more than happy to curl up on the couch for a snuggle session with you. If you're looking for an energetic, loving, and truly special companion, Twyla might just be the perfect fit for you!
