Grove

Meet Grove, an 11-week-old German Shepherd mix with a fluffy coat, an even fluffier personality, and a smile that will melt your heart. Weighing about 17 pounds now, this handsome boy is expected to grow into a medium-sized adult and is already winning everyone over with his confidence, curiosity, and goofy charm.Grove settled into foster care right away and quickly made himself at home. He loves playing with the resident dogs and other foster puppies, chasing toys, chewing on his favorite chew bones, and exploring everything around him. His absolute favorite pastime, though, is splashing in his water dishes. Whether he's pawing at the water or looking like he's ready to dive in for a swim, he keeps everyone laughing. He also has the funniest facial expressions. When he's excited, he flashes an adorable smile, and when he's relaxing, his expressive eyebrows make him look like he's about to ask for the manager.Like any young puppy, Grove is learning all about the world. He is making great progress with his potty routine by going outside after naps, meals, and first thing in the morning. He enjoys lounging in an open crate during the day and will continue building his crate skills after his neuter surgery this weekend.Grove gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys making new canine friends. He has also done well meeting young children, greeting them with the same happy enthusiasm he brings to everything else. He has a moderate energy level and will thrive with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to learn.If you're looking for a playful, affectionate puppy with a big personality, endless entertainment, and lots of love to give, Grove is ready to make a splash in your life.If you are interested in Grove, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
