Her herding instincts mean she may chase smaller, fast-moving animals, so a home without cats or small pets (or one prepared for careful, supervised introductions) would suit her best.<br/><br/>Shirley's Training & Compatibility<br/>- Potty Trained<br/>- Crate trained<br/>- Doggy door trained<br/>- Great with other dogs<br/>- Unsure about cats, start with supervised greetings<br/>- Great with both kids and adults<br/><br/>Laverne is smart and treat motivated, which makes training a breeze! She's already picked up several commands and continues to learn quickly. She's still working on her leash skills, and with a little more practice and positive reinforcement, she'll be a great walking companion in no time.<br/><br/>Vet Care:<br/>- Spayed<br/>- Vaccinated<br/>- Microchipped<br/>- On Prevention<br/><br/>Laverne would thrive with a family that will include her in everyday life and continue helping her grow into the incredible dog she's becoming. She'd love a home with another friendly dog to play with, but she'd also do wonderfully as the center of attention with an active family that enjoys spending time together.<br/><br/>Laverne has already overcome so much in her young life. Now all she needs is a family willing to give her the love, patience, and security she's always deserved. In return, she'll give you a lifetime of loyalty and unconditional love.<br/><br/>Location: Currently Fostered in Houston, Texas<br/>Rescue: Saving Pups of Texas (501(c)(3))<br/>Adoption Fee: $600<br/>Transport: Available for out-of-state adopters ($250, USDA-certified transport teams)<br/><br/>At Saving Pups of Texas, we are committed to finding the best possible match for every dog.
