Pebbles is a bouncy, energetic pup who is full of love an a zest for life! She's sweet as can be and always up for a bit of fun once she's feeling safe and settled. Pebbles can be nervous in new situations and with new people, so she's looking for a quiet, patient home, ideally with dog-savvy older children or adults only. She'll need a family who's willing to take things slow and let her come out of her shell at her own pace. Once Pebbles feels comfortable, her playful and lively personality truly shines. If you're ready to go at her speed and let her blossom in her own time, Pebbles is ready to bounce her way into your heart!
