Cinnamon is a dog that has a natural joie de vivre! The French term sums up this chocolate lab’s daily life since joining her new family. Sarah, Brian, and their two boys relish her affection, toys, and new skills she has brought to their family. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks—Cinnamon has mastered stairs, meet and greets, and even the changes of seasons—all at the ripe old age of four!

Sarah gave us an update:

Our sweet Cinnamon Girl has captured our hearts! We love her so much! We tell everyone that meets her that she should have been named Sugar because she’s so sweet! She is very affectionate and loving; she carries stuffed animals or toys in her mouth everywhere she goes and brings them to show us. When she first got here, she didn’t know how to go up to the second floor, she’s very smart and has since learned how to go up and down an entire flight of stairs. She is enjoying meeting lots of new people, playing games of fetch, going on car rides, enjoyed her first CO snowstorm, going for walks every day, and going on family adventures. We are so happy to have her as part of her family!
