Meet Flounder, a 9-week-old German Shepherd mix with a gentle heart! At 14 lbs, she's a little shy at first and often the pup patiently waiting her turn for cuddles and attention. Once she gets it, she soaks up every bit of love. Flounder has a calm, easygoing personality and would make an excellent nap buddy after a fun day of puppy adventures. She's curious about the world and continuing to gain confidence each day. Flounder is still learning the basics of potty training and currently uses puppy pads while practicing going outside. She has done wonderfully in gated puppy spaces. She would benefit from having people at home to tend to her puppy needs. She currently lives with cats in her foster home and is mostly uninterested in them. Her foster family recommends slow introductions to other dogs, but after that, she will thrive. Flounder does well with children as well. Flounder enjoys all kinds of toys, including ropes, stuffies, and puppy chews. As a German Shepherd mix, Flounder will grow into an intelligent and active dog who will benefit from regular exercise, training, and mental enrichment as she matures. She will require a fenced yard in her future home to meet her energy needs. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal puppy with a calm spirit and lots of love to share, Flounder is ready to swim right into your heart!
