About Searcher

Searcher is a delightful puppy looking for a loving forever home in the Washington, DC area. Approximately 13 weeks old, he’s a mix of Lab and Shepherd and is already showing the playful spirit that puppies are known for. He weighs about 30.6 lbs and is full of energy, ready for adventure and fun. As a young pup, Searcher thrives on social interactions and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. He’s in that crucial socialization stage, so he needs patience and some basic training to help him grow into a well-rounded dog. Potential adopters should note that puppies under 6 months require frequent potty breaks and playtime throughout the day—especially those who work a standard 8-hour day. Searcher dreams of a home where he can explore his neighborhood on plenty of walks, play with toys, and enjoy cuddles after his zoomies. An obedience class would also be great for him, as he’s smart and eager to learn. He has received his age-appropriate vaccinations, but it’s important for his new family to ensure he stays on track with his upcoming vaccines. If you're ready to welcome a bundle of joy into your life, Searcher is waiting for you!
