Ivy is the perfect balance of energy and relaxation. Her favorite activities include:

  • Toy Time: She loves her fluffy toys and treats the stuffing as her personal art project.

  • Adventure Buddy: Whether it’s a hike or a lazy day on the couch, Ivy is ready for anything—especially belly rubs and treats.

🕰 A Day in Ivy’s Life

Here’s what a typical day looks like for this fabulous pup:

🐾 Ivy’s Perfect Home

Ivy is ready for her forever family, but she has a few requests:

  • Experience Matters: Applicants must have owned a dog previously.
  • Kid-Friendly: Children in the home should be 8 years or older.
  • Grooming Commitment: Ivy’s non-shedding coat requires regular grooming to keep her looking fabulous.
  • Training & Socialization: Ivy is making great progress with her foster family but will need continued training to help her grow into her best self.

🐶 Ivy’s Personality

Ivy gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and adores her humans. She’s playful, loving, and always up for a cuddle. With gazelle-like leaps and a heart full of joy, Ivy is ready to bring happiness to your home.
