About Stride

Meet Stride! This sweet pup is great in her crate and happy to relax in her own space. Stride loves being outside and exploring the world around her. She enjoys chasing a ball, though bringing it back is still optional! She is curious about other dogs but would benefit from slow, patient introductions. Stride can be sensitive to new sounds and loud noises, so even the TV can be a little suspicious for her. Once she settles in, she's affectionate, cuddly, and loves being with her people. Stride is still learning her manners and will thrive with a family committed to training. She's a young, enthusiastic girl who can get jumpy when excited, likes to use her mouth during play, and has discovered that kitchen counters sometimes hold interesting treasures. Consistent training, patience, and structure will help her become the best version of herself. If you're looking for a fun, active dog and enjoy helping a young pup learn and grow, Stride may be your perfect match!
