About Fay

Fay is a delightful 5-month-old female puppy, a Shepherd and Retriever mix, currently looking for her forever home in Washington, DC. With her playful spirit, she's eager to explore her new surroundings and socialize with other dogs, cats, and kids. Fay grew up in a loving environment with her siblings, and now she’s ready to branch out and find a family of her own where she can enjoy puppy playtime, long walks, and plenty of snuggles. This baby needs an adopter who can commit to her potty training and socialization needs. Young puppies require frequent breaks and exercise, so potential adopters who typically work a standard 8-hour day should be prepared to make arrangements for her well-being during that time. Fay will thrive in a home that values training and playtime; she would benefit from puppy obedience classes to harness her intelligence. Her zest for life is contagious, and she can't wait to bring joy to her new family. If you think you could provide the loving home Fay deserves, she’s excited to meet you!
