Story
Say hi to Twixx, #MASA16731! This one-year-old, heartworm-negative girl came to MAS on 12/21 and has been settling into a foster home. Here's what her foster parents have learned about her so far: "Meet Twixx! " she is very energetic but loves to cuddle up with you and listens quite well. She loves her chew toys, knows how to sit, is potty trained, is crate trained, and will usually go right in the kennel when told. She loves walks and loves to play with you...she may also try to walk herself or another dog as she loves grabbing the leash to help walk. Twixx does well with children and other dogs and is just looking for her pack, whether it's just you or you have kids and other dogs. Twixx deserves all the love in the world because she is a good girl who needs someone who understands she's still a puppy with all the puppy energy, just asking for someone to come and make her part of their forever family." On 12/28/22, Twixx attended playgroup. Upon entering the yard, she was very unsure about all the other dogs. Her hackles were up, and her body was very stiff. Twixx finally went up to the dogs playing, and she was interested but wasn't sure how to "dog." She was tolerant of them jumping over her, and she had a rough and rowdy play style. She's still learning how to play. She LOVED the handlers! Rate 8/10 If you're interested in adopting 35 lb. Twixx, email us at mas@memphistn.gov, and we'll put you in touch with her foster parents.

Story
Anne briefly met another dog, Tatum. She was appropriate in her introductions and seemed to tolerate him some, but is likely more of a gentle/dainty girl as she showed no interest in rowdy play. Video uploaded.
