Little Dipper

Little Dipper is an 13-week-old Shepherd mix who's very mature for her age: she enjoys her daily "affirmations", a sure sign she'll thrive with a loving family. Currently weighing in at 13 pounds, she's the perfect size for both adventures and couch snuggles.Little Dipper adjusted quickly to her foster home and continues to blossom into a happy, affectionate companion. She is already picking up on potty training quickly and shows great progress every day. She's also doing wonderfully with crate training, after a brief adjustment, she now happily settles into her crate and treats it as her safe, cozy space. The only thing she's still unsure about is the vacuum, but she's gaining confidence every day.When she's with other dogs, she's very curious and playful making for a great playmate. She's also great with children. Her previous foster home had cats, and she didn't seem to mind them much.This sweet pup is everything you'd hope for in a young dog: playful, curious, and eager to learn. Like any puppy, she has bursts of playful energy followed by well-earned naps. She loves tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and anything she can chew on. If you're looking for a fun-loving puppy who will keep you smiling, learning, and cuddling every day, Little Dipper might just be your perfect match.If you are interested in Little Dipper, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
