About Fennec

Fennec is a lively 3-month-old Shepherd mix with a sandy cream coat that brings to mind the elegance of a little fennec fox. His playful nature shines as he eagerly engages with everything around him, always curious and keen on being part of the action. True to his shepherd roots, Fennec keeps a watchful eye on his humans, happily trailing behind to see what they're up to. He's a young pup in love with fetch, especially if it involves his squeaky tennis ball. Fennec's keen sense of smell leads him to explore every corner, and he takes pride in learning new things, motivated by treats during training. Potty training is progressing well; he's been good about using his pee pad in his ex-pen. While he adores his toys, he especially enjoys playful interactions with hands and feet, although he’d benefit from some gentle redirection to chew toys. A home with puppy experience and a consistent routine will help him continue to flourish. Though he hasn't met other pets or small children yet, we're confident he’ll adapt quickly. Fennec is ready to find his forever family in Wake Forest, NC. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
