Nicknames: Pecan Praline. Energy level: High. Sociability: with people: Sweet like pecan pie! Dogs: Playful, but very energetic. Cats: Unknown

Personality: Meet Pecan! This bouncy, high-energy lady absolutely loves to zoom around the dog park and play with toys. She loves to chase after balls, whip around rope toys, and play with just about any toy you can imagine. She entertains herself very well when given a toy. She can get a bit distracted when walking on a leash, but she does well when corrected. She is very bouncy, and will impress you with her leaps. She seems to love to do gymnastics all over the dog park. She is very sweet with people, but she can be a bit exuberant with her jumping, so she would do best in a home with older children. Miss Pecan requires lots of exercise and/or a large area for her to run around. Come and meet this big love! Likes: Bouncing, eating treats. Dislikes: Walking in a straight line
