About me Hi, I'm Downey! I'm a young pup full of energy and love. I adore playing with everyone and exploring every corner with my curious nose. Although I still need a bit of training, I'm eager to learn, especially if there are treats involved! I love getting affection and will nuzzle right back. Sunbathing is my favorite pastime on sunny days. If you're looking for a loyal friend to bring joy and playfulness into your home, I'm your guy. Let's make endless memories together! My adoption fee is quite the deal! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it also includes my spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons! Why wait? Come meet me today!
