I am one of 101 dogs saved from a hoarding situation; may need extra time to build confidence and feel secure.
🐾 Sweet + playful girlie with a happy, bouncy spirit
🚶♀️ Daily walk enthusiast – leash trained and doing great!
🦴 Chew toy connoisseur
🏃♀️ Settles nicely after exercise – play hard, nap harder
💤 Champion sleeper – naps well + sleeps through the night
➕ Loves positive reinforcement – treats and praise = instant besties
🏠 Working on house training – still learning
📦 Semi crate-trained – improving with patience and routine
🧠 Not familiar with commands yet – training era just beginning!
👩🦰 Great with adults
👧 Okay with kids but can be jumpy/hyper when excited
✂️ Tolerates grooming like a queen
🪮 Needs regular brushing to keep that coat fabulous
🔥 Best fit: active family ready to continue training and fun adventures
✨ Beaverette is ready for a family who loves play, walks, and helping a sweet pup level up!
