Andre

My story

Meet Andre! Andre is a goofy, lovable pup with a big heart and even bigger snuggles. He’s still a baby at 6 months old, but already shows how smart he is—he knows sit, down, shake, wait, and more! He’s crate-trained and doing great with potty training, often heading toward the door when nature calls. Like any puppy, he still needs supervision to keep from chewing things he shouldn’t, but he’s very attentive and highly food-motivated, making training a breeze.He recently had surgery to help with breathing (stenotic nares and soft palate) and is recovering wonderfully. We’re currently exploring possible allergies—removing chicken from his diet seems to be helping!Andre loves toys, puppy bones, car rides, and splashing in a kiddie pool. He’s got a playful energy but also LOVES to nap. He sleeps in bed at night (as he believes is his right), and doesn’t bark or whine when left alone. He’d thrive with a playful dog companion or a human who’s home often.Nicknamed Andre the Giant or Andre Wilbur (for his adorable piggy snorts), this sweet boy is on his way to becoming the perfect companion. He’s learning to be brave and is making huge strides every day. If you're looking for a loyal, silly, smart, and loving pup—you just met your match.If you are interested in Andre, 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 $450.
