Joan is a mixed breed female dog located in Saint Paul, MN. She is a baby at this stage in her life and has a medium coat. Though she is not house trained yet, she has been vaccinated and is ready for her forever home. Joan's characteristic tricolor coat adds to her charming appearance, and while she is not altered yet, her spaying will be covered by the adoption fee if done at the designated clinic by six months. She's an engaging pup that will grow to be medium-sized, so prepare for a lively companion!

About Joan

Joan is a sweet puppy looking for her forever home. She came to the rescue along with her nine siblings after being surrendered by an owner who wanted the best for them. Living conditions were tough, but Joan's mother, a scruffy terrier-type dog, did a great job caring for her pups. In her DNA analysis, Joan shows a remarkable mix, including traits from Australian Cattle Dogs, German Shepherds, and more. We believe she will be medium-sized once fully grown, but adopters should be flexible for a potential size change. Early socialization is crucial for Joan. She needs exposure to various sounds and situations, like vacuums and bustling public spaces, and she must meet dogs of all types for proper development. Puppy playdates, social classes, and outings are essential to help her thrive. Joan is vet checked, vaccinated, and will require a few more shots as well as rabies vaccination at the adopter's expense. Her spaying cost is included in the adoption fee if done at six months through the rescue. Families must ensure everyone is on board with adopting, and renters will need to prove they can have a puppy. If this sounds like a good match for your family, call 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm to learn more. Adopters can meet Joan now, but she won't go home until June 22.
