Sugar's story began when she arrived at It Takes a Village, a shadow of the vibrant and playful pup she was destined to be. Severely emaciated, her delicate frame bore witness to a difficult past. But fate had something different in store for this brave soul, and little did she know that her life was about to take a heartwarming turn.

Back to Health

With unwavering dedication, the shelter team showered Sugar with love and care, nursing her back to health. Day by day, she started to flourish, her once dull eyes brightening with newfound hope. It wasn't just her physical health that was being restored; her soul seemed to heal as well.

Sugar's intelligent nature became evident early on, impressing everyone with her quick learning abilities. She adapted to the shelter routine with ease, making her walks on a leash a breeze for her caregivers. With her medium-level energy, Sugar was the perfect balance of playfulness and tranquility, always ready for fun but also savoring moments of calm.

Sugar is a People-Dog

But what truly sets Sugar apart is her love for people. Her affectionate and attentive nature makes her a true people-dog, always checking in on her human companions, ensuring they're having as much fun as she is. She radiates joy in the company of new friends and potential family members, and she's especially eager to meet canine buddies through her adorable play bows.
