More info about Cricket from her foster:

Cricket is a young, black-and-white sweetheart with a personality as charming as her looks! With her one perky ear, one floppy ear, and an adorable black patch around one eye (think Petey from The Little Rascals), she’s impossible not to fall in love with. This medium-sized gal (about 35 lbs) is the perfect size for any home, big or small.

Cricket’s personality can be summed up in three words: sweet, sensitive, and smart. She’s a playful pup who absolutely loves other dogs and could play all day if her friends let her! She’s learning how to take breaks and would thrive in a home with a dog buddy who enjoys fun but can also show her when it’s time to chill.

She’s curious about cats — a little shy at first, but gaining confidence every day — so a dog-savvy cat companion could be a good fit. She hasn’t met many kids yet, and because she can be a bit jumpy when excited, she’d probably do best with older children.

When she’s not romping with friends, Cricket is a total lovebug. She follows her foster mom like a shadow, melts under gentle pets, and will literally tip over onto her back for belly rubs. She’s also content entertaining herself with toys when you’re busy.

Cricket is house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows sit, down, and even offers her paw unprompted (what a good girl!). She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find a forever family who will give her all the love she so eagerly gives in return.

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, loyal companion who will make you smile every single day — Cricket’s your girl!
