Nancy

Nancy is from our “Stranger Things” litter and was born in our care to her mom Joyce. Nancy is a sweet, cuddly puppy who prefers to take life at her own thoughtful pace. Compared to her sister Max, Nancy is a bit more reserved and cautious with new things, but she’s steadily learning to build her confidence. Give her a few minutes in a new environment and she’ll warm up, settle in, and show you just how loving she really is.

Once she’s comfortable, Nancy truly shines. She adores the other dogs in the home and is eager to engage, play, and follow their lead. And while she may be small, don’t let that fool you… Nancy has a big voice when she wants your attention. You’ll never have to guess when she’s ready to come out of her pen as she’ll let you know!

Nancy is the kind of puppy who thrives with patience, reassurance, and positive experiences. With continued socialization and gentle encouragement, she’s sure to grow into a confident, affectionate companion.

Nancy is very much a puppy and comes with all the classic puppy traits. She loves to chew, so supervision and appropriate chew toys are essential when she’s free in the home. She is not yet house-trained or leash-trained and will need a committed family willing to invest time and patience into her training and socialization.
