CINNAMON # 396852 Breed: Miniature Shelter Dog, American spayed female 11 mths 22 lbs
 
*Foster Home 
 
 Cinnamon is a smart, cuddly and adorable puppy. She knows how to sit and is working on other commands. She loves being near the people she feels safe with, but other people sometimes take a minute for her to warm up to. She loves other dogs and would love some dog siblings who want to play! She is still figuring out what to do with toys, but will bound after a ball if you toss one for her. She would do best with children over age 6, as she does like to jump and may knock over younger children. She can also be a bit mouthy when playing. She is fully house trained, has excellent recall, likes to sleep under the covers, rarely barks, and gets really, really, really excited when you get home.

*ok with kids 12+ 
 
 Meet Swayze ⚡️, a high-energy young pup with a heart of gold and eyes that will absolutely melt your soul 🥺. He has plenty of youthful stamina and loves to stay active 🏃‍♂️, but because the big wide world feels a bit overwhelming to him right now, he is currently working through being undersocialized 🌍. He can be a little shy and hesitant at first in new situations 🙈, but once he burns off some energy and learns to trust you, his incredibly sweet and loving personality shines right through 🌟.
 
 Swayze needs an active, patient forever home that can help him channel his high energy into fun, confidence-building activities 🏡. Structured exercise, food puzzles, and gentle training games are the perfect ways to help this beautiful boy process his surroundings and bond with you 🧠. With a little time, routine, and tender loving care, his cautious side will fade, leaving you with the ultimate loyal, athletic companion 🐾. If you are ready to guide a deserving, energetic young dog and watch his confidence grow, Swayze is ready to steal your heart 💖.
