About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a delightful young puppy estimated to be around 3 months old. While her exact breed mix is a mystery, we suspect she might be a Lab/Shepherd mix. One thing is for sure: Joan is a bundle of joy ready to find her forever home! With her striking black-and-white coat, charming floppy ears, adorable puppy face, and expressive brown eyes, Joan is the picture of puppy perfection. She has cute white markings on her chest and chin, and she always looks ready for her close-up.

Joan is currently living in a foster home, where she's learning about the world through play, naps, and lots of cuddles. She's growing up with people and other dogs, developing into a happy, confident, and well-socialized pup.

If Joan could pick a favorite hobby, it would be "all toys!" She loves stuffed animals, balls, tug toys, and chew toys, and she enjoys playing tug with her brother. Joan has all the playful energy you'd expect from a happy, healthy young pup and is surprisingly good at fetch. She approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a wagging tail, always ready for the next adventure.

When she's not zooming around, Joan loves to snuggle. She enjoys being held, cuddled, and showered with affection.

Ideal Home

Joan will need a family committed to training, socialization, patience, and consistency as she grows.

Ongoing Health

Joan is up-to-date on all vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed.

Training & Support

Like all puppies, Joan will benefit from crate training, a daily structure, positive reinforcement, and continued exposure to new experiences.
