About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a charming young puppy estimated to be around 3 months old. We believe she may be a Lab/Shepherd mix, but her exact breed blend is a delightful mystery! Joan is a beautiful pup with a sleek black-and-white coat, adorable floppy ears, and a squishy face with expressive brown eyes. Her cute white markings on her chest and chin make her look like she's always ready for a photo. Joan is currently thriving in a foster home, learning about the world through play, naps, and plenty of cuddles. She's growing up with people and other dogs, developing into a happy, confident, and well-socialized puppy.

Joan's favorite hobby is anything involving toys! She loves stuffies, balls, tug toys, and chew toys. She especially enjoys playing tug with her brother and has all the playful puppy energy you'd expect from a happy, healthy young pup. She's also surprisingly talented at fetch and approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a wagging tail. Once she's had her fill of playtime, Joan loves to snuggle up, resting her head on your shoulder and soaking up all the affection.
