About Blanche

Blanche is a medium-sized female hound/pointer mix between 3 and 4 years old, described by staff as incredibly sweet and well-mannered. She’s crate trained and likes routine, making daily life more relaxed. Blanche walks nicely on a leash, often pausing for a quick, gentle glance your way. After arriving with a litter of puppies (now all adopted), she’s ready for her turn at finding a loving home. Blanche can be shy when she first meets you, but her loyal and cuddly nature emerges as she settles in. Her favorite days include leisurely walks and cozy cuddle sessions. She looks for a home that can offer affection, stability, and a quiet space to bloom. Blanche is spayed and has her vaccinations and preventatives up to date.
