Approx 4-4 1/2 month old spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix

Meet this adorable 4 to 4.5-month-old spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix! This typical active puppy is full of energy and enthusiasm. She’s still teething, so she’ll need strong chew toys to keep her entertained. As she came to us as a stray, she will benefit from at least basic dog training to help her learn and grow.
