Are you ready to welcome a bundle of energy and enthusiasm into your life? Lavender is here to add a splash of joy and adventure to your days! Lavender is a beautiful large breed mix with a heart as big as her size. She's on the lookout for a loving forever home where she can thrive and grow with a dedicated family.

~ At first glance, Lavender's energy might be mistaken for boundless exuberance, but beneath her lively exterior lies a dog with a keen intellect and a strong desire to learn. She's always eager to embark on new adventures and engage in exciting activities. Whether it's learning new tricks, going for long walks, or exploring the great outdoors, Lavender is your perfect companion.
~ Lavender is best suited to a home where she can be the center of attention. She prefers to be the only canine (No other dogs) friend in the household, as she can be reactive around other dogs. With your undivided attention, Lavender will flourish and shower you with unconditional love and loyalty.
~ Due to Lavender's high energy levels and her tendency to be a bit jumpy and mouthy, she would do best in a home with older children, aged 16 years and above. Lavender is working diligently on her manners and impulse control and is making great progress. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, she's learning to be the best version of herself.
~ It's important to note that Lavender does exhibit some resource guarding behavior around food and toys. However, she's quickly learning commands like "leave it" and "drop it," showing her willingness to improve and adapt. With patience and understanding, Lavender will continue to thrive in a supportive environment.
~ Another thing to consider is Lavender's vocal nature. She tends to bark, especially when she encounters other dogs. Therefore, a house would be ideal for her (No apartments)
~ To ensure Lavender reaches her full potential, we require that her new family commits to at least one in person mandatory training session or through a Goodpup scholarship. This will help Lavender build on her skills and strengthen the bond between her and her new family.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Lavender and provide her with the love and care she deserves, please don't hesitate to reach out. Lavender can't wait to meet her forever family and embark on this new chapter of her life filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures!
