Liv

My story

Introducing Liv: the canine equivalent of a pocket-sized party! That’s right — forget everything you know about Pyr Paws N Fluffy Tails Rescue, because Liv is here to shatter records and expectations. Standing proud at a whopping 20 pounds (yes, you read that correctly, TWENTY pounds), she’s basically the size of one of our usual Pyrabear heads. Need a dog you can pick up with one arm while sipping coffee with the other? Liv’s your girl. Unlike our typical 100-pound professional nappers, Liv is what scientists call "energetic" and "happy-go-lucky" — meaning she actually moves without a forklift and enjoys being awake. She's the life of the party, bouncing and adventuring like she's auditioning for a Disney movie. But don’t worry — she has a soft side, too. When she’s finally done living her best zoomie life, she’ll settle down, snuggle up, and hit you with the tiniest, most polite kisses known to mankind. Rub her teensy-tiny tummy once, and congratulations — you’re now her person forever. Resistance is futile. In short, Liv is living proof that great things really do come in small, ridiculously adorable, turbo-charged packages. Liv came to us after her owner realized that this ball of caffeinated Aussiedoodle fluff might be slightly more work than anticipated. Yep, you read that right — Liv is one of those highly sought-after doodle mixes. Break out the glitter and confetti, folks! She may have leaned a little heavier on the Aussie side when it comes to looks, but don’t worry — she won’t be smashing any growth records anytime soon. She’s small, mighty, and absolutely convinced the entire world exists solely for her entertainment. Personal space? Never heard of it. Liv is enthusiastically in your business at all times — whether you like it or not. Grumpy growls from our giant Pyrabears are treated like background music as she flings herself into their personal bubbles, assuming everyone is just playing hard to get. She also enjoys latch-on-tail rides around the yard, where she plays the role of a determined barnacle while the big dogs pretend they’re towing an annoying, but somehow charming, tugboat. (Translation: Liv would not be a great match for a grouchy old dog who dreams of retirement and silence.) As for cats, or as Liv calls them, “purrinators” — she does still bark at them occasionally, because clearly they are plotting something. But after being smacked a few times (life lessons, Liv style), she’s decided it's safer to practice a peaceful "ignore but hover nearby" strategy. Sometimes, when the stars align and she’s feeling especially civilized, you might even catch her coexisting at shockingly close range with them — like a tiny diplomat at a very tense summit. Liv hasn’t been around small kids yet, but she does think every human who walks through the door is her personal fan club president. If you throw her a ball, congratulations — you’ve just signed up for a lifetime commitment, because she will fetch it with the desperate enthusiasm of someone who believes each throw might be the last one ever. Liv’s energy level falls somewhere between a caffeinated squirrel and a goat on a mountain ledge. On a scale of 1 to 10, she’s clocking in at a solid 47 — and no, she has absolutely no plans of slowing down. There is not a single ounce of hesitation, fear, or rational thought packed into her tiny, turbo-charged body when it comes to adventure or new experiences. If something looks exciting, Liv will launch herself at it full speed, brain cells be damned. She does everything at full speed with exactly zero thought given to physics, furniture, or your personal space. Leaping from couch to chair? Absolutely. Sprinting up the recliner and around your head like she's auditioning for a stunt show? Why not. It's called freestyle living, look it up. Outside, it’s even better. Liv becomes a tiny, muddy pinball machine, bouncing at warp speed from dog to dog, hole to toy to chair and back again, as if she's competing in her own personal triathlon — only with even fewer rules and way more enthusiasm. When she finally burns out, she’ll snuggle up like a tiny, exhausted angel, doling out the softest, most disarmingly sweet kisses imaginable. Rub her tiny tummy once, and you’ve signed a lifetime loyalty contract — you’re hers now. Sorry, we don’t make the rules. Liv will play fetch with her precious stack of tennis balls until your shoulder gives out, and when it does? No problem. She’ll simply throw her own (very formerly fluffy) stuffed hedgehog across the room and chase it herself, living her best independent queen life. She hasn’t been to the water yet, but based on her current love affair with biting the water while you fill her bowl — and her absolute glee at turning every post-rain mud puddle into a personal spa — we predict a strong future as a full-blown water goblin. With a consistent schedule, Liv is absolutely potty trained— she’s basically a tiny professional. She’ll even politely go to the door and give you the look like, "Excuse me, peasant, my royal business awaits outside." However, if you expect her to read your mind or figure out your random Tuesday schedule by osmosis, let’s just say... you might end up cleaning a rug or two. Liv is the type to keep it relatively chill indoors — she’s not the barking machine that will make your neighbors file complaints...However, step outside and Liv has a unique talent for turning every movement, real or imagined, into a major event. In short, she’s a one-dog neighborhood watch program, announcing every minor shift in the universe with the kind of confidence usually reserved for major news anchors. Ready to make your life a little more exciting? Then hurry up and fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app — we’re going to send it to her foster family ASAP so they can get the ball rolling. Just a heads up: you’ll need to pick her up in Purcell, OK. Because she may be tiny, but she’s already got a big presence, and we can’t exactly ship that in a box. 😏 Go ahead, make your home a Liv-sized adventure today. We’ll be waiting…and so will she...ready to smother you in kisses like you are her long-lost family that she has been waiting an eternity for...which in her eyes...you are.
