Innocent - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Innocent until proven guilty... of stealing your socks, chewing on something questionable, or covering you in puppy kisses! Innocent is a small, scruffy cutie looking for a puppy-ready home where she can grow into the wonderful adult dog she's meant to be. She may look like a tiny, innocent angel (and is!), but this playful little pup is still learning the ropes of being a well-mannered canine.

Innocent will need a patient, loving adopter ready to help with all the important puppy stuff, including house and crate training, socialization, learning that hands aren't chew toys, and the world isn't quite so exciting that she needs to bounce through it! With consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of TLC, Innocent is sure to keep blossoming. Her foster reports that she's really opened up and is now showing off her silly, playful side. She also loves to cuddle and give kisses, so there's plenty of sweetness behind her scruffy exterior!

Innocent is currently living in foster care with another dog, and would love a home with a friendly, playful canine companion to help show her the ropes. Or one that has a solid plan for continued socialization and helping her build even more confidence. We also aren't sure how big Innocent's parents are, so her final adult size is anyone's guess. But this little lovebug intends to be a lapdog for life, regardless of how much room she'll eventually take up!

Ready to give this angel in scruffy puppy clothing a fresh start? With the right guidance, lots of love, and a lifetime of adventures ahead, Innocent is ready to turn her next little mischief into a whole lot of happy memories. Apply to adopt her, and let the puppy shenanigans begin!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
