Lilypad - Adoption Pending - Shepradors Female Dog For Adoption in La Grange , North Carolina, USA

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat).

Meet Lilypad, also known as Skye! Lilypad from the Toy Story Litter is the kind of puppy who wants to know what’s happening, where you’re going, and whether she can come too. She is a 15-pound and 18 week old confident, curious, and always ready to explore something-new type of girl. New room? She’s checking it out. New toy? She’s investigating it. Something interesting happening across the room? Lilypad is probably already on her way over. But underneath that adventurous personality is a total cuddle bug. One of Lilypad’s favorite things is being picked up and held like a baby. She’ll settle right into your arms and happily enjoy the attention, making her a fun mix of energetic explorer and affectionate little snuggler. She is currently in a foster home with kids and would enjoy that in her future home. Lilypad is also doing really well with potty training. She has learned to wait by the door when she needs to go outside, which makes it much easier to recognize when it’s potty time. She is still a puppy, though, so if her signal is missed or she has to wait too long, an accident can happen. She already knows “sit” and “down” and continues to learn quickly. She is also crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night. Lilypad has minimal leash experience and will need some training with that. Lilypad has plenty of energy and loves playtime, whether she’s playing with you, another dog, or keeping herself busy with a toy. She has plenty of opportunities to play, explore, learn, and burn off that puppy energy. Because of this, a 4-foot fence is recommended for her! And speaking of toys… Lilypad is definitely a chewer! She can make quick work of softer plush toys and may try to swallow pieces that she tears off, so durable chew toys and tougher plush toys are the better choice for her. She is also very curious about objects she finds around the house and likes putting things in her mouth, so good puppy-proofing and supervision are important. When she gets especially excited, Lilypad can become a little mouthy during play, but she has been improving as she learns better puppy manners. Lilypad is looking for a family that will appreciate her adventurous spirit, keep up with her energy, continue her training, and still make plenty of room for cuddle time. If you want a puppy who is curious enough to explore everything and sweet enough to fall asleep in your arms afterward, Lilypad might just be your girl.
