A little adventurer with a big cuddly side! Arizona is a gorgeous cream-coloured girl with the sweetest little tan tips to her ears and plenty of adorable puppy charm. She's already had the opportunity to experience a little farm life while in foster care, where she's met cats, cows, horses and cattle. She's been wonderfully brave and curious about all her new introductions, taking everything in her stride and showing us she's keen to discover what the world has to offer. Arizona is a playful, outgoing little girl who loves interacting with her people and enjoys having other companions around to share in her adventures. She's always happy to get involved in what's happening, but there's another side to this lovely girl too! When the excitement settles, she has a rather adorable habit of hunkering down and cuddling right into you, almost like a little cat. Arizona loves her toys and is very food motivated, two wonderful qualities that will make positive-reinforcement training an enjoyable part of her development. With tasty rewards and a favourite toy, her new family will have some great tools to help teach her everything from basic manners and recall to walking nicely on a lead and making good choices. She's had a lovely start to discovering the world and is ready for a family who will continue building on that foundation, helping her grow into a confident, social and well-rounded companion.
If Arizona isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
