About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a sweet and playful puppy estimated to be around 3 months old. We think she might be a Lab/Shepherd mix, but her exact breed is a fun mystery! Joan is a bundle of joy with a sleek black-and-white coat, adorable floppy ears, and the most expressive brown eyes. She has cute white markings on her chest and chin, and she truly looks picture-perfect whether she's posing or playing.

Joan is currently living in a foster home where she's learning all about the world and blossoming into a happy, confident, and well-socialized pup. She loves all toys, from stuffies to balls to tug toys, and especially enjoys playing tug with her brother. She's also surprisingly good at fetch and approaches life with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. When playtime is over, Joan loves to snuggle up in your arms or rest her head on your shoulder, soaking up all the love and affection.

Ideal Home

Joan will thrive in a home committed to positive reinforcement training, socialization, patience, and consistency as she grows.

Ongoing Health

Joan is a healthy young puppy. All vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and spay/neuter, is up-to-date.

Training & Support

Like all puppies, Joan will benefit from crate training, a daily routine, and continued exposure to new experiences to help her navigate the world.
