About Lovey

Lovey is a delightful 12-week-old female puppy, a mix of Mini Poodle and Australian Shepherd. She’s looking for a foster or forever home and is currently in a shelter in South Carolina, hoping to find someone in the Washington, DC area. As a baby, she weighs about 4.5 lbs and is in her prime socialization period, which means she will thrive with other dogs, cats, and kids with the right patience and training. She’s energetic and playful, ready to bond over toys, treats, and snuggles. Lovey needs adopters who can provide her with plenty of potty breaks and exercise, especially as she's not quite ready for long stretches alone; those with a typical workday must make arrangements for her care. Though she hasn’t been spayed yet, her adoption contract will ensure this is completed by February 2027. Preparing for house training and obedience school will also be essential for her development. If you're ready to bring a joyful companion like Lovey into your life, she’s waiting for you!
