laverne

Hi, Im Laverne! Im a happy, confident, spunky, and sweet puppy with adorable airplane ears, soulful eyes, and a mask-like pattern on my face that makes me pretty hard to resist. My siblings and I were found as strays at a cemetery in Texas, but these days, Im making up for lost time by enjoying all the fun things puppyhood has to offer! Im a medium-to-high-energy girl, which means Im pretty much always ready for my next adventure. Playing with my foster siblings? YES! A game of tug-of-war or chase? Absolutely! Exploring the yard and foraging through the mulch and sticks? You bet! And when Im ready for a little downtime, Im happy to settle in with a good bone or entertain myself with toys that squeak and crinkle. My foster parents think Im smart, outgoing, and adventurous, and Id have to agree with them. I love being around people and other dogs, and Im a total wiggle butt when Im excited. Im curious about the world around me and tend to happily head toward new people and new adventures. I may even jump up to say hello because sometimes my puppy enthusiasm gets the better of me. Im working on remembering that all four paws belong on the floor! I currently live with three doggy foster siblings a playful 14-month-old Lab/Bully mix, a semi-playful 8-year-old Hound mix, and an easygoing 11-year-old Havanese and I love having canine friends to play with. I dont have any cat experience yet, and I havent met any little humans, so those will be new adventures for me. Im also a pretty funny sleeper. Sometimes I stretch out with my legs spread in the most ridiculous position, and other times Ill take a break from playing and bust out a full-on sploot. Apparently, Im just as entertaining when Im resting as I am when Im playing! Im still a puppy, so Im learning all the important stuff. Im working on sit and my potty training, and Im getting there! Im already kennel trained and do well when Im left alone. Treats are a great motivator, but honestly, attention from my people is pretty rewarding, too. Give me some love and a little encouragement, and Im ready to keep learning. As for my forever home, Im pretty flexible. I could be happy in an apartment or a single-family home, as long as my humans understand that Im an energetic puppy who needs exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of opportunities to use my busy brain. I can get a little barky when Im playing with my dog friends, so my future neighbors may occasionally hear me having a very important puppy conversation. My foster parents say Im such a fun, outgoing, sweet girl who just loves being around people and other dogs. They tell me Im a joy to have around and honestly, I think theyre right! I dont have any special requirements, fears, or ongoing medical needs. Im just looking for someone who is ready to enjoy all the fun, silly, sometimes-mischievous moments that come with raising a puppy. Whether youre an experienced dog person or this is your first puppy adventure, I think we could be a pretty great match as long as youre ready to help me learn, grow, and become the best girl I can be. Im Laverne, and Im ready for my next adventure. Do you think youre the human who can keep up with me?
