PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS
A total cuddle bug, Panda is even cuter than her namesake! This cheerful pup snuggles right up to her people on the couch. Oh, and did we mention she adores belly rubs?

A bit shy, Panda needs a calm home where her curious spirit can blossom. When she visits new places, Panda likes to take things slowly, and she loves to meet new people. Because of her spunky puppy energy, children will need to be at least 5 years old.

She enjoys playing with her foster brothers and meeting other dogs and will thrive either as the single center of attention or with a brother or sister who is receptive to a lot of puppy play and intermittent zoomies. One of her favorite spots to unwind is her bed in the kitchen, where she politely stays when left unsupervised.

Progressing nicely with house training, Panda is busy learning basic commands. She has already mastered Sit and Come, motivated by yummy treats. Practicing more tricks with her adoptive family will be so much fun!

Panda is quickly learning leash skills, too, and she can't wait to find her forever walking buddy and go on long walks or hiking. Whether she's frolicking in the fenced yard (playing fetch) or curled up in your lap, this playful girl will bring so much joy to her new family's life!
