ming

This 11-week-old Lab/Shepherd mix has big puppy confidence and an even bigger personality! At 12 lbs already, Ming is the leader of the pack who loves exploring, chasing his brothers, and zooming around the house with the cutest pitter-patter feet you’ve ever heard. When playtime is over, he’s all about cuddles and cozy naps in warm spots.Ming spends short periods of time in a big pen with his brothers, and he also sleeps in a crate with them at night. They like the sing a lullaby before bed together, but after a few minutes they stop and go to sleep. Ming is doing well going on puppy pads and learning what ‘outside’ means. He is adjusting to wearing a collar and spending short periods apart as he builds independence. Ming has met a few other dogs and he’s always excited about them, especially his brothers and the resident dog in his foster home. He’s still learning puppy manners, but his enthusiasm and curiosity make him a fast learner. He hasn’t met cats yet, so a proper introduction is recommended. Ming has done well in his foster home with kids ages 8 and up. He’s teething and can be a bit nippy in typical puppy fashion.Ming is a brave, happy, playful puppy who plays hard, naps hard, and will thrive with someone excited to teach him all about life, love, and how to be the very best dog.If you are interested in this dog, 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.
