Puffball's Story

Puffball is a 9-week-old shepherd mix with a big personality packed into a small, fluffy body. After a ruff start as a stray, he’s discovering how great it feels to be safe, loved, and spoiled with toys. Puffball’s a friendly, playful, and outgoing puppy with high energy and that classic curious puppy mindset. Puffball loves toys, enjoys the company of other dogs, and does well with kids over 8 who can match his bouncy play style. At night, he sleeps in a kennel like a champ, and while he’s not housetrained yet, he’s already showing that he’s smart and determined.<br/><br/>Like many young puppies who didn’t get the best start in life, Puffball doesn’t always like to share his toys and high-value treats. He’s still learning that good things don’t disappear, and with gentle, consistent training and positive reinforcement, this is something he can absolutely improve on as he grows. We’re happy to share tips to help set him up for success in his new home.<br/><br/>Puffball would likely do well in most loving homes that are ready for puppy energy and plenty of playtime mixed with snuggles. If you’re looking for a sweet sidekick who’s eager to learn and grow with you, Puffball is ready to start his next chapter by your side. <br/><br/>Thank you for considering an OTAT-WTX rescue! All pets are living in foster homes, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, or for more information, please visit our website: https://otatwtx.org/how-to-adopt
