Spring is a 3‑month‑old shepherd mix with a gentle, quiet spirit and a heart full of sweetness. She’s the softer sister of her litter, happiest when she can curl up against someone and soak in all the snuggles she can get. Though she loves her cozy moments, Spring still has plenty of playful puppy energy and enjoys exploring and bouncing around when the mood strikes. She’s deeply people‑oriented, eager to bond, and already showing the makings of a loyal little companion. Spring is ready to bring warmth, affection, and a touch of calm to a home that will help her grow with love.
