Essie has mastered the art of enjoying life. This beautiful, mature gal still has plenty of pep in her step, happily zooming around the play yard, following every interesting sniff, and making walks feel like little adventures. She's a big fan of affection, believes every squeaky toy deserves a good workout, and is more than ready to trade kennel life for couch life. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with playful spirit and "bestie" potential, Essie is eager to meet you.
