Are you looking for a seasoned playmate who loves to cuddle just as much as he loves to tug?

I am a tug-of-war aficionado and will gladly challenge you to a friendly game. My enthusiasm is infectious, and my joy for playtime will surely bring a smile to your face.

My affection knows no bounds, and I'm always ready to shower my family with love. It's important to note that I also embrace my sensitive side. I am a little wary of storms and fireworks, so a comforting environment during loud noises will help me feel secure and calm.

Come check out a delightful dog who promises to bring endless joy, laughter, and love to your home!

Story

Hold onto your hats, folks, because Blondie, the 1-year-old mix breed with a personality as vibrant as her namesake, is here to steal the spotlight! Just like the beloved comic strip character, Blondie has a knack for keeping things lively and full of surprises. They say blondes have more fun and her name, Blondie, will prove that to be true! At just a year old, Blondie is still a bundle of youthful energy and enthusiasm. She might be a mix breed, but she's got a heart as big as her personality-and she doesn't always realize just how big she is! This lovable gal is known for her spirited play and zest for life, which sometimes means she plays a little rougher than intended, especially for younger kids. Blondie can be a bit choosy about her canine friends, preferring to keep her humans to herself but could potentially find the right match. Her discerning taste in canine companions means she might take a little time to warm up to new furry friends.
