About Ives
Meet Ives, an adorable puppy who is eager to find her forever home. This Aussie/Cattle Dog mix is 10 weeks old as of June 28, 2026, and she's already full of love and energy. Although Ives is in her prime socialization period, she will thrive with some patience and proper training. She gets along well with other dogs, kids, and even cats, making her a great addition to any family. Living in a foster home in the DC area, Ives craves playtime with her toys and those delightful puppy zoomies—followed by cuddles, of course. Adopters should be prepared for the puppy phase, which means plenty of potty breaks and exercises throughout the day. She’s also looking forward to some doggie obedience classes to show off how clever she can be. As a developing puppy, she has received her age-appropriate vaccines, but will need complete vaccinations as she grows. Ives isn’t yet spayed, and her new family will need to ensure this happens by October 14, 2026. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, she’s excited to meet you! Your new puppy needs dedication to house training and obedience school to become a well-socialized companion. Ready to welcome Ives into your life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
