Artichoke is a fun-loving, energetic young pup with a big heart and an even bigger love for other dogs! She’s the kind of girl who settles in quickly — within 24 hours she was already super affectionate, and by day 3 she was housebroken (she even learned to use bells on the door!).
She’s a fast learner who already knows basic commands, is crate-trained, and does great inside the home — she doesn’t bark indoors, isn’t destructive when left alone, and has even been comfortable sleeping outside the crate.
Artichoke absolutely lights up around other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, playful dog friend to learn from and play with. She can be a little too enthusiastic with seniors or smaller dogs and may not always catch their “I’m done” signals right away, so she’ll do best with a dog who can match her energy.
When Artichoke feels unsure, she just needs a little patience — the best approach is to sit nearby and let her come to you on her own time. Once she feels safe, she’s sweet, curious, and ready to play!
Great car rider House-trained + bell trained Smart + eager to learn Loves other dogs
