Wren is a cuddly, playful 3 month old border collie/husky mix that weighs 8 lbs. She estimated to be around 40 lbs when she is full grown. Wren is an incredibly sweet, affectionate girl with that is the perfect mix of cuddly and adventurous. She loves being close to her people and will happily soak up all the snuggles you’re willing to give. She’s just as excited to get up and go explore the world with you. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just hanging out at home, she’s happiest being part of whatever you’re doing. She is also a social butterfly that loves everyone she meets. She isn't shy about letting you know she likes you and will smother you with the sweetest puppy kisses within seconds of meeting her. She’s very smart and picks up on things quickly, and she’s a wonderful listener. When you talk to her, she will tilt her head slightly, look at you like she understands what you're telling her, and sometimes even puts her paw on you to offer some affection. Wren is confident and brave. She takes on the world with an adventurous spirit, and is not easily fazed by new environments, sounds, or experiences. She’s curious in the best way. She likes to check things out, learn, and see what’s going on around her. In the home, she’s a fantastic companion. She gets along great with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. She has a playful side but also knows how to settle and relax, making her a great balance of fun and calm. Wren would do well with a family or person who wants a loyal sidekick. She's the kind of dog who’s always ready for an adventure but just as happy curled up next to you at the end of the day. She’s truly the kind of dog who just fits into your life and makes everything a little brighter. 

Wren is medium energy, so she is pretty mellow with short bursts of puppy energy that are easily burned with play time in the backyard. Once she has had her short exercise session, she loves to cuddle up next to her human for some snuggles and belly rubs. She is best described as an active couch potato because she's happy to lounge around as long as her human wants to, but the minute you want to go outside and go on a fun adventure, she's ready to go too. As she gets older and masters leash training, she would love to g on short leisurely walks around neighborhood, and also on long, adventures hiking and exploring nature trails on the weekends. She never passes up the chance to hop in the car to join her humans on dog-friendly outings and absolutely loves going to dog-friendly stores around town. Her favorite activities involve just being with her humans. Whether it is a game of fetch, mental stimulation activities like hide and seek games with hidden treats, or a good game of tug-o-war, she is happy to partake. She loves her toys, chews, and puzzle games, and can happily entertain herself while you’re busy. She would be really happy if she had a monthly BarkBox subscription so she can get new fun toys and chews each month. Puzzle games and chew bones will also be great for keeping her busy indoors if you work from home, especially now that she's about to start teething.

Wren is dog, cat, and kid friendly. She is currently in a foster home with both small and large sized dogs, and was previously living with some kitties in her first foster home. She loves to play and cuddle with other dogs of any size and age. She is a social butterfly when it comes to making new dog friends and would benefit from having another playful dog in her forever home. She has learned proper doggy communication skills and boundaries from his older doggy friends, and takes correction well if other dogs communicate that they are tired of her puppy antics. She will scamper off to find something else to play with instead when she can't find a doggy playmate. Because of her young age and friendly demeanor, she would be able to join a family that has a cat in the home. In her last foster home, she loved to play with the younger kitties and kept her distance from the older cats that did not want to deal with her silly puppy antics. Since she is a silly, playful puppy, she would do best with dog-friendly cats that have lived with dogs before as she is a puppy and will want to play with them. Wren would do well with kids of all ages. She loves to play, cuddle, and share her sweet puppy kisses with everyone she meets. She is very gentle and sweet, and would be perfect for a family with kids. She is going to start teething soon, so her humans will need to keep a watchful eye on her to make sure she doesn't chew on human kid toys laying around. 

Wren is kennel trained, and is currently working on mastering potty training and leash training. She sleeps in a kennel at night with no fuss, but enjoys a treat and some toys as she settles in. When she gets older, she would love to snuggle up in bed with her humans every night so she can get in as many cuddles as possible. She is doing well with potty training and will use a potty pad if she needs to go and her foster mom doesn't let her out quick enough, but she has been doing well with notifying her fosters that she needs to go out to potty by standing, pacing, and whining at the back door. She will need to have consistent potty breaks to get on a good routine once she is in her forever home, so she will need someone that either works from home or lives nearby work so they can take her out for potty breaks on their lunch break. Her foster family is starting to work on leash training, but she will need additional practice to perfect her leash walking skills as she gets older.

Wren's ideal home would be a house with a fenced in backyard to run around and play in. She would do well in an apartment, condo or townhouse as long as she gets frequent exercise and potty breaks throughout the day. She even has mastered going up and down stairs, so she won't mind if there are stairs in her forever home. It is preferred that her human either works from home, can go home on lunch break to take her out, or can take her into a dog-friendly office while she is still young. She would also love to go to doggy day care a few times a week if there are no other dogs in the home so that she can have some fun playing with other doggy friends. No public dog parks for this little girl because who wants to risk your pup catching a disease or being bullied on by other random dogs anyways. She would do love to have a family that has other dogs and kids, and would coexist well if there's a kitty in the home too. With her adaptable, laid back nature, she would be a wonderful fit for a variety of households. She would do best with a family that wants a playful pup to join in on fun outdoor adventures and understands that she is going to be an playful, active dog as she gets older. Wren is so excited to find a forever family who will give her all the love, adventure, and companionship she dreams of, and she will provide lots of cuddles, kisses, and loyalty in return.
