Meet Fiesta — your built-in best friend, adventure buddy, and joyful little firecracker! Fiesta spent Thanksgiving on a staycation, and her hosts absolutely loved having her. She brought so much fun, energy, and personality into the home, and she showed just how quickly she can thrive with structure, play, and patience. She settles in beautifully. Fiesta decompressed within her first day and quickly found her rhythm. She naps like a champion with calming music, enjoys relaxing in her kennel, and didn’t have a single accident once she settled in. She’s quiet, clean, and sleeps soundly — she just needs a little encouragement going into the kennel, which a simple leash guide easily solves. Playtime is her love language. This girl is all about fun! She adores sprinting in the yard, wrestling with confident playmates, tugging on toys, and rolling around dramatically during play. She’s enthusiastic and social, and with another energetic dog, she’s truly in her element. A fenced yard and an active home would make her the happiest pup in the world. She’s still learning some of the doggy social cues, but she’s eager, excited, and means well — she just plays like a puppy still figuring things out. With continued guidance and the right playmate, she’ll blossom even more. Smart, silly, and full of curiosity. Fiesta is incredibly intelligent — the kind of smart that makes you laugh. She can figure out unanchored baby gates, notices everything, and wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing. She’s still working on house manners like jumping and counter surfing, but she responds well when redirected to toys (which she LOVES — especially squeakers, bones, and blankets). Fiesta’s dream home: A playful, active home with structure, love, and time to help her keep learning. She’d thrive with another confident, energetic dog who enjoys rough-and-tumble play, or as a solo pup with plenty of exercise and enrichment. Fiesta is bright, affectionate, goofy, and full of potential — the kind of dog who makes every day more fun. If you’re ready for a sweet, spirited companion who will keep you smiling, Fiesta can’t wait to meet you!
