About Lavender

Meet Lavender, the sweet pittie mix puppy looking for her forever home. She came to the Shelter with her sister Daisy and their mom, Maple, who has already been adopted. Lavender is the smaller sibling, featuring an adorable mix of white fur with subtle blue ticking. While she’s generally a laid-back pup, she loves to join in when Daisy starts the fun by stealing toys. Lavender is smart and has been doing great during bedtime, staying quiet until morning, and she's about 75% potty trained—finding her pads or going outside with ease. Lavender would thrive in various home environments and is great with kids, having spent time around them in her foster home. However, to ensure compatibility, it's best for resident dogs and children to meet her at the Shelter first. Adopters should be prepared for all the joys and challenges of raising a puppy, including potty training and socialization. Lavender is available for pre-adoption and will be ready to go home post-spay surgery. Don’t wait to meet her—you may just fall in love!
