Meet Poinsettia, a delightful puppy with a heart full of joy. Poinsettia and her brothers Lil St Nick and Tinsel and sisters Mistletoe and CandyCane can't wait to meet you! This cuddly, sweet, friendly, and sometimes shy pup is known for her gentle and goofy nature. We are thinking she is a Beagle and Australian Shepherd mix. She's not just playful and smart; she's a lover of toys and has a special fondness for children, making her the perfect family companion. Poinsettia thrives on snuggles and fun, always ready to brighten your day with her playful antics. Being just a pup she will have so much to learn! She will need house training, crate training and will need to learn to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. If you're looking for a loyal friend who brings laughter and love, Poinsettia, or one of her littermates, is waiting to fill your home with happiness. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
