About Veruca

Veruca is a 3-month-old, 7-pound Collie/Puggle mix bursting with personality. This little social butterfly thrives on interaction, whether it’s with people or fellow pups—she’s ready to play with anyone! Her playful nature has her zooming around, wrestling with other dogs, and delighting in her toys. In her playful spirit, she’s currently navigating her puppy nipping phase, showing particular interest in moving shoes.

Veruca is making strides in her potty training, using both the outdoors and pee pads indoors. She handles crate time well and enjoys car rides, often settling down comfortably. Known for her gentle play style, she adores children and would thrive with a playful canine sibling to match her energy. While she hasn't met any cats, she’s ready to welcome new friends.
