Cinnamon is a lively and energetic large-breed puppy searching for an experienced and active family who understands her unique needs. With her guardian and working breed heritage, she's looking for a home where she can stay engaged, both physically and mentally. Cinnamon is eager to learn and would thrive in a setting where she has a purpose and plenty of opportunities to stay busy.
Cinnamon is still a work in progress and will benefit from guidance as she hones her impulse control and works on being less mouthy and barky.
If you're ready for an active and devoted partner who will keep you moving and fill your days with love and excitement, Cinnamon is the perfect pup for you!
