My story

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

ON MEDICAL HOLD - Applications have not been reviewed yet

Meet Whisper!
Whisper is a 4-month-old bundle of joy with a playful spirit and a gentle heart. She’s active, affectionate, and incredibly friendly—always ready to make new friends wherever she goes.
This super smart girl loves learning and is already working hard on her house training and manners. She’s curious about the world around her and enjoys exploring, especially on her walks. Whisper is playful and fun but has a gentle nature that makes her wonderful with kids.
Whisper would enjoy having another dog friend in her forever home to play with and learn from, but she would also be perfectly happy as your one and only. She bonds closely with her people and loves being part of daily life.
She’s comfortable in her crate and does well with structure, which makes her a great fit for many types of homes—including apartment living.
With her intelligence, sweet temperament, and eagerness to learn, Whisper is ready to grow into an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a loving, smart puppy who will bring both fun and loyalty to your home, Whisper might be your perfect match. 🐾🤍
