Anne - Adoptable

Our foster Puppy!  She is available to adopt through Wags and Whiskers!! (Minnesota)






Anne (Lab/Beagle mix)
3 months old on July 22

Anne is not your typical puppy. She shows more mature tendencies than most dogs her age. This doesn't mean that she doesn't like to run and chew, because she does. This just means that she shows great personality towards some other things. For instance, when clippiing her nails all you need to do is hold her and turn on the TV. Her curiosity gets the best of her and she doesn't even know what your doing. She didn't squirm once! She also shows great potential for walks. When on a leash she doesn't pull, more walks behind and to the side of you. Which is very normal for a puppy that's never been on an "official" walk before, but when rewarded for such behavior, it won't change! She LOVES to play with her foster sister, a yellow lab. In fact they play non-stop until we separate them. Like human toddlers, puppies need their naps and Anne is no exception. When playing with other dogs she doesn't show any dominance. She goes straight into play mode. When she's done playing she just lays down and doesn't interact, despite all attempts by her foster sister. If she is in the middle of playing and you want a cuddle ... she is ALL FOR THAT. She gives the BEST puppy hugs. She never tries to squirm away. She will cuddle and hug you until your done!

Anne is great with small children (3 ½ and 1 ½). She loves to play tag with them but also sits on their laps while on the couch if an adult is there to watch over. As long as you've taken her to the bathroom, she sleeps through the night with no protest. (9pm to 7am). Please keep in mind that she IS a puppy and she has normal puppy mouthing, but she doesn't bite. Not even once. Her biggest flaw, if you can even call it that, is that she loves to chew on sticks. Big or small they become instant toys.

Potty training is coming along. For never being introduced to the concept of going to the bathroom outdoors, she is picking up on it VERY quickly. She does all her “duties” before breakfast and before bed. Of course there are several other breaks throughout the day, but those are the two that she is VERY regular with.

She is very treat driven as well. She learned to "come" when called within an hour and she is working on "sit". It's coming along VERY quickly and I am impressed with her learning curve!
