🍏 Meet Granny Smith – crisp, cool, and slightly confused by... everything.
No, she’s not a senior citizen—we promise. Granny Smith is actually a young husky mix, but she was released from a breeder situation where no one taught her the basics of being a family dog. So now she’s starting fresh… like a brand-new apple off the tree.
🧊 She’s shy. Like, “Are you a human or a tree?” shy. She won’t come running up to you with tail wags and kisses—yet. But give her time, and she’ll start to peek out from her shell, sniff around, and maybe even give a tiny tail wag of approval.
🚫 Not potty trained.
✅ Learning every day.
🏠 Needs a patient, calm home that understands “puppy in progress.”
She’s like software still downloading—don’t expect full features yet, but updates are coming.
💗 Underneath the nerves and husky-level fluff is a gentle soul who’s never had the chance to just be a puppy. She’s looking for someone kind, patient, and willing to celebrate small wins—like using the potty outside or not thinking the couch is suspicious.
🎓 With consistency, love, and snacks (lots of snacks), Granny Smith will blossom into the sweet, loyal companion she was always meant to be.
🍎 Just don’t expect her to fetch your slippers yet. She’s still figuring out what slippers are.
Dogs: Does well
Cats: Unknown
Kids: 10+ rec, everyone in the home has to meet!!
I am in a foster home. an appointment must be scheduled to meet me! call today to arrange a visit!
