Personality:
Canasta is a gentle, slightly shy girl who is learning that the world can be a wonderful place. With a little reassurance and encouragement, she blossoms and gains confidence from being around her people. She loves staying close by, is curious about all the interesting sounds around her and gets especially excited when a squeaky toy comes out for a game!
Tamariki – Any age provided proper intros and supervision.
Cats – Seems ok with proper intros and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation needed due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 2.6kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Canasta is looking for a loving home that will cherish her, help her build confidence and patiently show her all the big wide world has to offer. Puppy school, ongoing training and plenty of positive socialisation will help this sweet girl shine. With her people by her side and a squeaky toy in reach, we know she has so much potential.
Could Canasta be the little squeak of joy your family has been missing? She is ready to find her people and start her next big adventure!
