About Ounce
Ounce is a delightful puppy ready to find her forever home. This little girl, a mix of Shepherd and Terrier, is only 9 weeks old and currently living in a South Carolina shelter, eagerly waiting for a loving family in the DC area. She weighs around 4.9 lbs and, like most puppies, is at a prime age for socialization. Ounce is great with other dogs, cats, and children provided she receives proper training and guidance. Her new family should be prepared for puppy life, which includes frequent potty breaks and playtime. While she has had some of her age-appropriate vaccinations, it's important to keep in mind that she will require further shots as she grows. Ounce has not yet been spayed, and adopting her means you'll be responsible for this procedure by December 30, 2026. All she wants is a backyard to play in and a warm lap for snuggles. Can you offer her a loving home? Letβs give Ounce the chance she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
