Licorice

My story

Hi, I’m Licorice Since you are reading this, you’re obviously looking for a new best friend - hey, so am I!  It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you look like, but in case these things matter to you, I was born sometime in May 2023. I’m a mixed breed and weigh approximately 50 lbs. I have a gorgeous black shiny coat with the most stunning white star on my chest. My foster mommy named me after her favorite candy.  Hey, that’s me in the picture. Ain't I handsome? I was born somewhere in East Texas and came from a litter of seven puppies.  My sisters and I were abandoned June 2023 on the side of the road in a cardboard box.  We were very hot and thirsty, and our tummies were grumbling, because the grass and rocks we ate were not keeping us full.  Luckily, a Good Samaritin saved us and called Cody's Friends Rescue.  We were even more lucky when Cody's found a foster family that would take all seven of us together!  All of my sisters have been adopted or moved to new foster homes, but I am still waiting for my furever family.  In my foster home is my foster mommy, daddy, and my favorite human buddy (check us out in the photos).  There is also Conway a 3 year old pit bull/lab mix, and my best friend Mia who's the same age as me (check us out in the photos)! Want to know my favorite color?  It’s green of course - just look at my collar. I love playing with squeaky toys, balls, and tug-o-war with rope toys.  I am a big chewer and definitely need chew toys to keep me busy.  My most favorite chew toys are yak sticks and chew hooves. I am very energetic and active, but when I’m pooped out, I love to chill out on the sofa while getting belly rubs. I really try to restrain myself, but I can’t help digging in my foster dad’s veggie garden and compost bin.  He sure isn’t happy about that, but digging is so much fun! I also like to steal and chew my foster family's socks.  I am crate trained and whenever you leave home it's a good idea to put me in a crate, so I am not tempted to chew something I shouldn't. Meeting new dogs and going to the dog park is very overwhelming for me, so my foster mommy says I would do much better as an only dog or with only one selective buddy. I am especially good at math and know exactly how many treats are in your pocket at all times. I hope you like kisses, because I am very affectionate and love giving wet doggy kisses. I am kid-friendly, house trained, crate trained, fully vetted, microchipped, neutered, and let's not forget extremely handsome!  What more could ya want? So . . .  what do you say?  You wanna be my bestie FOREVER? ##1775629##
