About Joan the family pup

Meet Joan, a delightful 3-month-old puppy with a likely mix of Lab and Shepherd. Joan is as charming as they come, with a sleek black-and-white coat, endearing floppy ears, and soulful brown eyes that will melt your heart. Her adorable white markings on her chest and chin give her a unique, photogenic charm.

Joan is currently in a loving foster home, where she's learning all about the world through a delightful mix of playtime, naps, and snuggles. She's growing up with people and other dogs, developing into a happy, confident, and well-socialized pup. Her favorite hobby is anything involving toys – stuffies, balls, tug toys, and chew toys are all fair game! She especially loves a good game of tug with her brother and has all the playful puppy energy you could wish for. Joan is also a surprisingly good fetch player, always ready to show off her playful spirit with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. When playtime is over, she’s ready to curl up for cuddles, resting her head on your shoulder and soaking up all the love and affection.

Ideal Home

A family committed to providing training, socialization, patience, and consistency as Joan grows.

Ongoing Health

Joan has received age-appropriate vetting including DAPP vaccines with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, flea prevention, and a 12-month heartworm preventative injection. She has also been tested for heartworm and treated if needed. She is spayed and microchipped with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Like all puppies, Joan will benefit from crate training, a daily structure, positive reinforcement, and continued exposure to new experiences.
