Wren

Description

Tiny but mighty, Wren may be one of the smallest pups in the room, but she has the heart of a lion. This adorable 3-month-old black and white Lab/Terrier mix is already proving that size has nothing to do with confidence. Whether she is happily wrestling with puppies much bigger than she is or curling up in your lap for a cuddle, Wren brings joy everywhere she goes.Wren is a playful, curious puppy who loves making friends. She spends her days romping with other foster puppies, chasing toys, and playing one of her favorite games: trying to catch another puppy's wagging tail. She rarely succeeds, especially when the tail suddenly changes direction and gently bops her on the nose, but that only makes her more determined. Squeaky toys are always a hit, and she is just as happy chewing on a sturdy teething toy when it is time to wind down.While she can be a little reserved when meeting new people or dogs, Wren warms up quickly. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate and loves being held, snuggled, and showered with attention. She has done wonderfully with children and enjoys soaking up hugs from her foster family's grandkids. Like all puppies, she is still learning that hands are not chew toys, but she redirects easily with an appropriate toy.Wren is making great progress with her puppy manners. She sleeps through the night in her crate with her sister and is beginning to understand house training. She often uses puppy pads indoors and is learning that potty time happens outside too. She is not yet asking to go out, so her future family should be ready to continue her training with patience and consistency.This sweet girl has a nice balance of playful energy and cuddle time. A couple of play sessions and a short daily walk will suit her well as she grows. She would love a family that will continue introducing her to the world while giving her plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and snuggle. If you are looking for a puppy with a brave spirit, a silly personality, and endless affection to share, Wren is ready to win your heart.If you are interested in Wren, 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.
