My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Miss Parsnip! This sweet girl loves playing with toys, as well as pets and cuddles. She LOVES going outside and rolling in the fall leaves. As a medium energy pup, she is the perfect fit for a family looking for a couch buddy who also enjoys spending time outdoors so she can explore and sniff all the things.

Parsnip is a silly girl who would love to spend all day playing and cuddling with you. She's pretty shy but can't get enough attention once she gets to know you. And if a yummy treat is involved? Forget about it – she is all yours! Her petite size makes her an excellent fit for apartment-living, though she’d also thrive with a family as she has done great with kids. And while she may look like a little coyote, there is nothing scary about Parsnip -- this easy-going girl has even warmed up to cats!

Even better, this smarty pants is already house trained and her fosters report she sticks to her own toys (and not their shoes!). What a good girl! They also report that she is great at entertaining herself – you won’t see any whining or aggression out of this sweetheart.

All she needs now is for her new best friend to adopt her into her forever home! Are you ready to meet Parsnip?
