Hi there! I’m Adira! Not to brag, but my name means “strong and noble”—and I’ve totally earned it. I’m not your average pup. I’m dorky. I’m smart. I’m guaranteed to make you laugh at least three times a day—four if you wear socks I can chase.

The Essentials:

• Fully housetrained and crate trained.
• I love kids, though I do get a bit bouncy with excitement—so supervision and guidance help me be my best self.
• Friendly with dogs—I get excited and bark if another dog barks, but I’m working hard on staying calm before greetings.
• I would thrive with a doggy sibling who can kindly tell me when I’m being “a lot,” OR as the only dog with experienced large-breed humans who know how to hold the line with love.
• I'm curious about the cat—I’ll chase sometimes, but it’s more playful than predatory.
• Smart, loyal, playful, occasionally sassy (especially if you try to take away a toe or interrupt my social calendar).
• I love training (I’ll do basically anything for food), and I need a family committed to helping me practice calm behaviour with positive reinforcement.
• I enjoy mental challenges and learning new things (like conquering my fear of water—go me!).
• Important PSA: I like to taste-test things that aren’t technically edible (RIP Nerf bullets and LEGO). I’m not destructive with furniture, but I will need supervision indoors and out.

My Signature Look:

• One of my eyes is a little underdeveloped—it makes me extra special. The rescue will recheck it during my spay, along with a small umbilical hernia that’ll be fixed up too.
• I have patented the Adira Dance (for food), and I usually sleep upside down with my legs in the air like I just don’t care.
• I’m a one-of-a-kind little weirdo with a heart of gold and toes to chase. If you’ve got patience, snacks, and room for a loveable goofball—I’m ready to be your ride-or-die.
