Story
Anniyha,,“Niyha” for short was born September 8, 2022. She is a very sweet girl! She does get super excited with any initial interaction, she needs calm assertive reminders to stay down and not jump up, she tries very hard to obey and Loves to please. She is crate trained-(when left alone and during the night), she is on a set schedule bedtime by 8pm and morning wake up outside 7am. We do have a loose schedule during the day that is mostly followed- including meals, walks(on-leash) and playtime(sometimes playing fetch, still learning to “bring it back”, “drop it”). She also knows commands like “sit”, “wait”, “not yours”, “get ‘em” or “get it”, “paw”/“other paw”, “lay-down”. She loves bones, toys and treats(sliced cheese is her favorite(but not too much). She is continuing to learn and does require lots of patience and positive attention🩷

Are you ready to welcome a bundle of fluff and energy into your life? Meet Bailey, a curious, playful young boy who is searching for his forever home! Bailey is a 9-month-old, active pup who loves to stay busy. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a joyful romp around the yard, or simply exploring his surroundings, Bailey is always ready for fun. His boundless energy and playful spirit are sure to keep you smiling and on your toes every day. This friendly boy adores people and is always eager to make new friends. Bailey is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and weighs between 45–50 pounds. He would thrive in an active home with a fenced-in backyard where he can safely run, play, and burn off his puppy energy. Bailey prefers to enjoy his meals on his own, without other dogs around, so a family that can accommodate separate feeding time would be ideal. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion who’s ready to grow alongside you, Bailey may be the perfect match. Could he be the one you’ve been waiting for? Reach out today and take the first step toward giving this wonderful pup the loving home he deserves! 🐾 Buddy is being fostered in Harlingen, TX but can be transported any northwestern or northeastern states. Transportation cost is included in his $500 adoption fee,. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/ASHT/Dog
