Grapes will never let you feel alone, and she will certainly encourage you to get moving

Hello, howdy, and hi! My name is Grapes, and I am probably the happiest dog you will ever meet. I love my name because it is so unusual but since my name is gender neutral, I will fill you in on some of my basic statistics: I am a medium size female terrier mix. I am 2 years old and weigh a svelte 53 pounds. I am heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.

Now I can tell you all the fun things about me! I am bouncy, love to jump up and give hugs and like to play with other dogs and even cats. I enjoy playing with children especially if they play a favorite game that I call “I’ll chase the tennis ball if you throw it.” I like lots of toys and will carry them with me every where I go because … well, you never know when you might need a squeaky toy! I’m so happy to be alive and if you were to come to South Bend Animal Resource Center to adopt me for just $85 and then because you love me so much you get me a subscription to BarkBox … sigh … I would be the “happiest girl in the whole USA.”
