About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a delightful young pup around 3 months old, who we believe might be a Lab/Shepherd mix, though her exact heritage is a charming mystery. This little lady is 100% ready to fill your home with joy and love! With her striking black-and-white coat, endearing floppy ears, a face perfect for squishing, and soulful brown eyes, Joan is the epitome of puppy perfection. Her cute white markings add to her photogenic charm, making her look like a little model whether she's lounging or playing. She's currently thriving in a foster home, learning about the world through play, naps, and plenty of cuddles. Joan has grown up with people and other dogs, shaping her into a happy, confident, and well-socialized puppy.

Ideal Home

Joan would thrive in a home that can keep up with her playful spirit and shower her with affection.

Ongoing Health

Joan is up-to-date on all her vetting, which includes DAPP vaccinations with a booster, Bordetella, and Rabies. She has received multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments and flea prevention. She has also been spayed and is on a 12-month heartworm preventative injection. A health certificate deeming her healthy for travel is included.

Training & Support

Like all puppies, Joan will benefit from a family committed to training, socialization, patience, and consistency. She's already learning through crate training, daily structure, positive reinforcement, and continued exposure to new experiences. Her foster family has also been attending group training and socialization playgroups, helping her stay confident and well-rounded.
