My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Navy!

My name is Navy, and I was born on 10/20/2024 in Texas with my eight siblings! I am one of the 3 boys in the litter. Right now, I’m about 13 weeks old and weigh 7.2lbs. My papers say I’m a Terrier/Pit mix, but me and my siblings are a colorful bunch, so it’s anyone’s guess!

I am the wild child of all my siblings. I wish I never had to stop playing! I love to play wrestle with anyone who’s willing, and sometimes not willing. I try to get attention using my teeth sometimes, but I do listen well when I’m told to stop. Actually, I listen very well to any commands I’m given. I’m very calm when I’m being held and will take as many pets and scratches I can. I’m just a puppy with a lot of energy to burn! I like to chase toys, but playing tug is the most fun. I like to be outside, but I’m not a fan of cold weather. I would much rather be held than get my paws in the snow for too long. Whether it’s playing or loving, I like to be with humans as much as possible!

I’ve been busy at my foster home with all my brothers and sisters and my two foster siblings. I do great with the large, adult dogs that live here and have liked every other big dog I’ve met on walks so far. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I think I would like them too, even if they don’t appreciate my puppy curiosity. There is a 12-year-old boy that lives here; I get so excited to play with him and love every kid I have met so far! I haven’t met any really young children yet, but if you watch my excitement around them, I should be just fine.

Due to my age, I haven’t mastered walking on a leash yet. I get distracted by just about every stick I see. Also due to my age, I haven’t been potty trained yet, but I do try my hardest to use my pee pads. I’ve been working to learn to sit and not use my teeth when I shouldn’t, and I will continue trying my hardest! I haven’t been completely left home alone yet, as I have my brothers and sisters with me. That may take me a little time to get used to, but I don’t think crate training will be an issue for me. I take corrections very well and should learn quickly with my new family.

I’m having so much fun and learning so much every day, but I can’t wait to meet my new family!
