Story
Meet Dassa Dog, a 3-month-old Great Pyrenees mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This sweet girl is full of puppy energy and loves playing with her foster family's resident dog and cats. Whether she is zooming around the yard, carrying her favorite little stick, or squeaking her favorite stuffed toy, Dassa is always ready for fun.Dassa is settling into home life beautifully and is learning all about being a beloved family companion. She has been doing really well with potty training and, so far, has had no accidents in the home. She is also working on crate training. She may whine a little when first going into her crate, but she settles down nicely. She already knows "sit" and is eager to learn, especially when treats are involved.One of Dassa's most adorable features is her lazy eye, and she has the cutest habit of tilting her head whenever she hears an interesting noise. She is as sweet as can be and loves attention from her people. While she enjoys short walks, she benefits even more from mental enrichment like toys, training, and games to keep her busy.Dassa gets along well with other dogs once she has a chance to warm up, and she has done great living with cats. She likes to play with them but is gentle and not aggressive. Because she does have some food guarding, a home with older children would likely be the best fit.A fenced yard would be wonderful for this playful pup, but it is not required as long as she has safe supervision or a tie out while she continues learning. She would also do best with a family where someone is home more often, although she does well in her crate while her foster family is away. She may bark briefly when she first goes into her crate or when she wants to play, but it is short lived.If you are looking for a goofy, affectionate, toy loving puppy who will keep you smiling every day, Dassa might be the perfect addition to your family.If you are interested in Dassa, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
