Laverne

My story

Looking for a hilarious, happy, floppy ball of sunshine in puppy form? That’s Laverne in a (very large) nutshell! At just 3 months old, this big girl is bursting with love, personality, and the kind of goofy energy that makes you laugh out loud. She’s an 8 out of 10 on the energy scale, but it’s all tail wags, silly hops, and floppy-legged zoomies — truly the comedic relief your home’s been missing!Laverne is thriving in crate training (with a few puppy-style oopsies still happening), and she’s doing well with house training as long as she gets frequent outdoor breaks. She’s rocking her leash walks with a harness and would benefit from a gentle leader as she grows into her paws — and trust us, she’s growing fast!She’s been a sweet, respectful companion to her canine foster siblings. A playful pup in her new home would be ideal — someone who can show her the ropes and keep up with her goofy games. Laverne has also been a sweetheart with her young foster human and wants to be close to him whenever she can.Cats? Well, she’s got some houndy instincts, so she’ll need supervision and training — she’s curious and calm when cats are still but gets tempted to chase when they run. The potential is there, but it’ll take patience.This bug-hunting, toy-loving pup is surprisingly calm in the car — she’ll nap or quietly watch the world go by — and will steal your heart with her silky coat, giant paws, and soulful golden eyes that seem to say “Will you be my person?”An active home and a playful doggy buddy would help this growing girl thrive. She’s sweet. She’s silly. She’s Laverne — and she’s ready to be your new best friend.
