Ivy - Pointer and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Batesville, Arkansas

This playful pup is ready to discover the world alongside a loving family of her own — meet Ivy!

Ivy has lots of potential to grow into a fun, devoted family dog. She is dog and child friendly. At this young age, Ivy is still learning about the world, and her personality will continue to develop as she grows. Her new family will have the opportunity to introduce her to new experiences, teach her good manners, and help shape the wonderful dog she becomes.

Like most puppies this age, Ivy hasn’t mastered potty or crate training yet — and that’s perfectly normal! She’s just beginning her training journey. Young puppies are little sponges, and with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and a good routine, Ivy should have every opportunity to catch on quickly.

Right now, Ivy’s most important job is simply being a puppy: play hard, investigate everything, learn something new, sneak in some cuddles, nap, and repeat. Her future family gets the fun of watching this sweet little puppy discover everything that comes with being someone’s beloved family dog.

The first step toward adopting Ivy is completing our application. Once received, we’ll review it to see if you and this pup may be a good match!
