Gnocchi — The silly, sweet, people‑loving pup from the “Pasta Litter” is ready to find his forever family. Gnocchi is an outgoing, joyful Pyr and Border Collie mix who lights up every space he enters. He adores people — especially kids — and wants to be part of whatever his humans are doing. His silly, playful style makes him a constant source of laughter, and he loves to run, romp, and show off those long legs and striking black‑and‑white markings. As a tiny baby, Gnocchi had some hair loss, but it’s growing back in HANDSOMELY and only adds to his glow‑up story — he’s turning into one very handsome boy. When he’s not playing, he’s all about cuddles, attention, and following his person from room to room just to be close. He’s social, confident, and incredibly smart, so he’ll thrive with a fun, active family ready to guide a bright puppy who loves to learn. Like most Pyr mixes, he’ll need a 5-foot securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs, explore, and enjoy his daily adventures. This boy is content napping with one of his siblings after a good run and romp thru the yard! Gnocchi is ready for a family who will appreciate his affectionate nature, goofy charm, and big, happy heart.
