Meet Cricket! This sweet and loving girl might be a little shy when you first meet her, but it doesn't take long for her warm, gentle personality to shine through. Once she feels safe, she's all tail wags and snuggles. She also lives for a good case of the zoomies! If you're looking for a kind-hearted pup who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Cricket might be your perfect match.
