If you come to meet Tuna, this young girl will be so excited. She loves to meet new people and can get zoomies! She so hopes for their belly rubs.

Now in foster, this active, playful puppy is learning to play tug-o-war and fetch. Her usual day involves a walk in the morning, a mid-morning snooze, a walk in the afternoon followed by a nap, then an evening walk, dinner and playtime. She also loves her chew toys.

On her walks, Tuna can get distracted by people she sees and barking dogs, so she may pull her leash some. She is learning what "leave it means when she's going to see something she shouldn't sniff. She's a smart girl who also understands sit and down and is quickly catching on to what stay means.

A gentle girl, Tuna sleeps all night in her crate and can be comfortable there when her fosters have to go out and run errands for a few hours. And she is house-trained.

Tuna will love a home with an active family and parents who are home a lot. Come meet this adorable girl!

PUPPIES AND OTHER HIGHLY-ADOPTABLE DOGS DISCLAIMER:

Puppies and other highly-adoptable dogs (small dogs or desirable-breed dogs) at APA! are very high in demand and usually have several interested adopters. Inquiring about a dog, meeting a dog, and even applying for a dog does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt the dog. Only one household will be able to adopt each dog, which means all other interested households will inevitably and unfortunately be disappointed. Please consider this in your search and set your expectations accordingly. Please also consider that adult dogs do not typically have competing adopters, and they need furever homes, too! Additionally, APA! does not allow the adoption of dogs who are related (e.g., littermates or mom and pup) to the same household for behavioral reasons.
