Ronnie is a beautiful large mixed-breed girl with a sweet heart and a little bit of sass! She can be nervous when meeting new people, but with a little patience you'll quickly see her loving and affectionate personality shine through. She would love an active family that enjoys spending time outdoors, whether that's exploring new trails, going for long walks, or simply soaking up the sunshine. After a day of adventures, Ronnie's favourite place is cuddled up beside her people.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts adventurous and cuddly, Ronnie might just be your perfect match!
