Story
Gypsy is a joyful little girl who is just 12 weeks old (as of 2/2) and heading to New England from Mississippi—escaping the rough weather down south and ready to start her next chapter!This pup is truly eye-catching, with stunning brindle-and-white coloring and the most beautiful, expressive eyes. Gypsy first appeared as a stray in Batesville, but thanks to a kind Good Samaritan who took her off the road, she found her way into foster care—and she’s been thriving ever since.Gypsy is a classic happy, lively spitfire puppy. She’s curious, playful, and full of personality. She’s already working on crate training, and while her foster mom (who is almost 80!) will be the first to say she’s “doing her best—LOL,” Gypsy is making great progress for such a young pup.She absolutely loves other dogs and has even been doing well playing with cats, too. Gypsy would do best in a home ready for all the fun, structure, and patience that comes with raising a puppy.Gypsy arrives in Massachusetts on 2/7 and will be ready to head into her forever home shortly after.Puppy Expectations:Gypsy is still very much a baby. Like all puppies, she will need time, consistency, and positive training to continue learning house manners, crate skills, and basic obedience. Puppies require supervision, routine, and plenty of patience—and adopters should be prepared for chewing, accidents, and lots of energy as she grows.If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and absolutely adorable puppy to grow up with, Gypsy may be the one for you.Name: GypsyBreed: Plott Hound/Labrador RetrieverSex: FemaleAge: 12 weeks as of 2/2Weight: 20 lbs at 12 weeks ( looking in the 75-80 lb range when full grown)Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

This requirement is for your benefit and your puppy's, so if you experience behavioral issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life.
