Zinnia
Zinnia is a beautiful young lady, curious, smart and friendly. She is expressive and quite the sponge, plus add in her pinch of sass and you have yourself a really fun girl looking for owners who will love and guide her. She is sensitive to handling/manipulations and so any handling must be set up on a cue word and must be positive. This opt-in approach is essential for her to trust and feel comfortable. She is a fan of cuddles but will need to get the energetic side tuckered out for those cuddles to last! She loves to play and interact with toys.
She is not house or leash trained and will need a home committed to helping her with developing her socialization skills in the world. As most puppies do, she loves to chew, cause moments of chaos followed by moments of pure joy! A puppy is a lot of work so please do include in your application your plan to help your puppy be the best he/she can be and be sure you have the time and commitment to bring a puppy home. Zinnia needs a little extra special devotion from her people so they learn how to communicate with her. This wild-haired gal is worth all of the effort!
