About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a playful and loving puppy estimated to be around 3 months old. We think she might be a Lab/Shepherd mix, but her exact breed is a mystery, as is often the case with our wonderful rescue pups. What we do know is that Joan is an absolute sweetheart who is ready for her forever home.

Joan has a stunning black-and-white coat, charming floppy ears, and the most endearing puppy face with expressive brown eyes. She sports adorable white markings on her chest and chin, and she has a natural talent for posing! Whether she's sitting patiently or zooming around with a favorite toy, she's undeniably captivating.

Currently living in a foster home, Joan is experiencing the joys of playtime, naptime, cuddles, and plenty of love. She's growing up surrounded by people and other dogs, developing into a happy, confident, and well-socialized pup.

Joan's favorite hobby is anything involving toys! She loves stuffies, balls, tug toys, and chew toys – she’ll happily share her attention with all of them. She particularly enjoys a good game of tug with her brother, showcasing all the boundless energy of a happy, healthy young dog. Fetch is another one of her talents, and she loves to show off her playful spirit. Joan approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a perpetually wagging tail, always eager for the next adventure.

When she's not busy with her zoomies or important puppy tasks, Joan is a snuggle expert. She adores being held, resting her head on your shoulder, and soaking up all the affection. She thrives on cuddles, kisses, and being told how adorable she is – which, let's be honest, is quite often!
