Story
How this pet arrived: Swiper was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on January 27, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Hold on to your hats because Swiper is in town, and he's ready to steal your heart (and maybe a sock or two). This bouncy, happy-go-lucky pup is all about fun, games, and boundless energy. Whether it's zoomies around the living room or flopping over for belly rubs, Swiper is always on the move, keeping life exciting and just a little bit chaotic. But let's be real-puppies are not for the faint of heart. Swiper still has plenty to learn, including the fine art of potty training, leash walking, and understanding that shoes are not chew toys. Positive training is the name of the game, and with the right guidance (and plenty of treats), this clever pup will be well on his way to good-boy greatness. Swiper may be adorable, but don't let those puppy-dog eyes fool you-raising a pup takes commitment, patience, and a good sense of humor. If you're ready for the ups, downs, and occasional puddles of puppyhood, Swiper is ready to be your new best friend. Bring a leash, a collar, and a whole lot of enthusiasm, because once you meet him, there's no swiping left on this guy! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 13 Age: 0yrs 4mths 2wks
