About Avo D11445

Hi! I'm a sweet, loving German Shepherd puppy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was a little confused by all the new sights, sounds, and routines. After a few days, though, I started figuring things out and have been improving every day since. I love people and am always excited to say hello! I used to get so excited about pets and attention that I could hardly contain myself, but I'm learning how to settle down and enjoy the love. I still need some help with my manners, but I'm a smart girl who is eager to learn.

My sisters and I spend a lot of time together. We love wrestling, playing, and making lots of noise while we have fun! We're active throughout the day, but we also enjoy relaxing, taking naps, and cuddling with our people. I'm starting to discover how much fun toys can be, especially stuffies, and I enjoy finding creative ways to entertain myself. Notebook paper is particularly fascinating-I like to see how many tiny pieces I can turn it into! I also love running up for pets, asking for belly rubs, and curling up close to my people. Sometimes I even fall asleep on a lap after giving plenty of puppy kisses.

I'm doing very well with kennel training and sleep quietly through the night without accidents. My potty training has improved tremendously since I arrived, and I continue to make progress every day. I actually like my kennel and often choose to relax there on my own, especially if I want a shady spot or a cozy nap. Leashes aren't my favorite thing yet, but I'm working on that too. I'm curious about other dogs and enjoy playing, although larger dogs can make me a little timid at first. Like any puppy, I still need supervision because I enjoy chewing on things and can squeeze into surprisingly small spaces-sometimes getting out is the tricky part! If you adopt me, be prepared for endless affection, plenty of laughs, and a loyal best friend who will adore you with her whole heart.
