Meet Sapphire

At just 3 months old and around 10 pounds, Sapphire is a little girl with a whole lot of love to give! This sweet pup is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and a calm, gentle personality. Sapphire is dog friendly and wonderfully respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. She takes her cues from her canine friends and knows when to give them space, which is such a great quality for a young puppy. She hasn’t been cat or kid tested yet, but given how polite and respectful she is with other dogs, we think she may do just fine with them too! Sapphire is also proving to be a smart and well mannered little girl! She has already learned “sit” and will happily sit and wait for her food. She is eager to learn and is off to a wonderful start with her puppy manners. And bath time? Sapphire is a champ! She is very well mannered in the bath, which is especially wonderful for a pup who will need regular grooming throughout her life. Getting her comfortable with baths and handling at such a young age is a great start to making grooming a positive experience as she grows. One thing Sapphire is absolutely certain about: blueberry-flavored treats are THE BEST! Give her a blueberry-flavored Greenie in the car and she’ll happily sit quietly for the ride. She also loves being outside, especially when she can roll around in the grass and enjoy all the puppy smells.
