Notes from the foster:
I was born in care 9/17/25 to the sweetest mom dog ever. Higgles is as adventurous as she is adorable and bursting with personality.
Higgles isn’t one to shy away from fun and can keep up with the big dogs. When it comes to playtime, she enjoys all kinds of toys and bones and shares nicely with her other doggo friends. Whether she's chasing her foster siblings around the yard or curled
up on the couch for snuggles, Higgles gives 100% of her heart.
She’s a playful and energetic little gal who’s learning the ropes—her fosters are working on leash manners and potty training, and she’s already ringing the bell to go outside about 80% of the time. She’s crate trained and sleeps through the night like a champ.
Evenings are for cuddles mixed with play and Higgles is always happy to oblige. She would thrive in a home with other playful pups or as a solo sidekick with lots of attention.
Like all puppies, she’s in the everything-goes-in-the-mouth stage, so supervision and chew toys are a must.
If you're looking for a sweet, spirited companion who is equal parts spunky and snuggly, Higgles might just be your perfect match!
