Story
Hello, I'm Hydie! I'm as sweet as a sugar cookie and friendly like the sun. I love to play, and my energy could power a small town! My curiosity keeps me exploring and sniffing out new adventures. I’m a bit goofy too — I can't resist a good belly rub, a game of fetch, or rolling in the grass. Food? Oh, that's my favorite! Treats are the quickest way to my heart. I could play fetch all day, but I’m also the perfect mix of playful and mellow. I’m not just about fun and games, though. I’m also a great listener and promise to be by your side, wagging my tail, ready to bring a smile to your face. Adopting me means endless love, boundless joy, and a loyal friend forever!
