About Perdita

Meet Perdita, a lively young girl with a big puppy personality! This affectionate mixed breed is bursting with enthusiasm for life. She originally came to the shelter as a stray and was later adopted, but her high energy became more than her previous family could manage. Although she's playful and fun, she can get mouthy when overly excited and may jump up looking for attention. That's why she needs a family ready to help her learn better ways to express herself, particularly one with older children who can appreciate her spirited nature. Beneath all the puppy antics, Perdita craves love and cuddles. She's food motivated and eager to listen with the right focus. While she's enthusiastic around other dogs, sometimes her excitement translates into loud vocalizations! With the right structure and positive reinforcement training, she’ll thrive. Perdita isn’t looking for a quiet life; she’s ready to play, train, and explore. If you're prepared to guide her into becoming the awesome adult dog she’s meant to be, she’s waiting for you! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
