About Swiss

Swiss is a sweet, 5-month-old mixed breed puppy with an endearing personality. Weighing about 25 lbs, she has tall, lanky legs and adorable clompy feet, making her a unique and charming companion. Anticipating she will grow into a medium-sized dog, she already shows signs of impressive house training and seeks out a quiet spot when she needs to go. This sensitive girl excels in her crate, happily spending her days at work and sleeping soundly through the night. While she forms a bond with patience and trust, she blossoms into a loyal friend. With her medium to high energy, Swiss loves to play and has done well with other confident dogs after proper introductions. Though cautious around new people, especially men due to limited exposure, she is making excellent progress in her leash skills and thrives on positive reinforcement. We recommend a harness and double-clip leash for her safety when she’s nervous. Swiss adores children and did wonderfully with the kids in her previous foster home. She’s shown a gentle manner with the family cat as well. If you're ready for a loving companion who's eager to grow in confidence, Swiss might just be your perfect match.
