Meet Mandi, the ultimate cuddle bug with a playful streak and a personality that will melt your heart! Mandi is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to be close to her people, whether it’s snuggling up on the couch or tucking herself under blankets for a cozy nap. She’s the definition of medium energy—excited and playful one minute, relaxed and chill the next. After a good walk or playtime, she’s perfectly content to curl up and snooze the day away.
Mandi is also a total goofball. She gets the zoomies after her walks, running around with joy and playfully barking. She’s affectionate, constantly seeking belly rubs and giving kisses to anyone who’ll give her attention. Though she’s a bit shy with new people at first, it only takes a minute for her to warm up and show her true playful self. Her tail starts wagging and she’ll be ready for all the pets and love you can give!
In terms of routine, Mandi thrives on walks and outdoor adventures. She loves getting outside for long walks (or several shorter ones throughout the day) and enjoys lounging in the sun when she's not on the move. Her prey drive is strong, and she gets very excited by squirrels, but she’s quick to redirect with a bit of patience. Recently, she’s shown some reactivity to electric scooters, bikes, and motorcycles, so a little extra guidance on walks can help keep her focused and calm in busy areas. Mandi is great with other dogs on walks and can absolutely live with a doggy sibling who shares her playful nature.
While Mandi is generally very adaptable to different living situations—she’s done well in a condo environment with her busy foster family—she’s definitely happiest when she’s getting lots of love, playtime, and a good walk. She would thrive in a home that can provide that and continue working on her excitement around squirrels. Mandi would be perfect for an active household or a 9-5er who can give her a midday break, ready to spoil her with affection and fun!
Mandi also has a wonderfully independent side—she enjoys her own time curled up on her bed or playing with toys when she’s feeling relaxed. She’s the perfect mix of cuddles and play, knowing when to seek affection and when to unwind on her own.
This adorable girl will quickly become your best friend—she’s got the sweetest personality, a funny side, and a heart full of love. Ready to meet your new bestie? Apply to adopt Mandi!
