Andi Dufrain is a little brown dog with a black mask framing her face and black speckled throughout her body. She has a white patch on one paw and a white muzzle, and the tip of her tail is black.

A lovely, sweet puppy, Andi Dufrain is a bit timid at first, but her curiosity gets the better of her and she bravely explores new things. Although sheltered from too many experiences in her early months, she is learning quickly that the world is a fun place to explore. Andi loves to chase sticks and balls in the fenced backyard, so would love to be in a house with a fenced yard so she has some outside room to run.

Andi would do best in a house with a friendly dog that doesn’t mind puppy energy to help show her the ropes. Otherwise, the humans in the house will need to be prepared to spend lots of time playing. She is doing a great job learning basic commands. Andi sleeps in a crate at night and is house-trained. She does well when left alone in the house and never messes with any human belongings.

Andi’s new family will need to be patient and understanding of her shyness, yet be prepared when she is comfortable to handle her puppy energy.
