Ruff Ruff! My name is Spots - Only $95 adoption!

Spots - Only $95 adoption!'s Story...
This beautiful puppy was saved off the euthanasia list at one of the kill shelters. Her name is Spots, which was given to her when we saw all the spots she has on her back and ear. Spots is the foster grandmas' favorite puppy in the litter. She has a sweet & playful personality. Given the choice, she would rather play with people, or the other pets, than with toys. .

These rolly polly puppies were found "in Wickenburg, out in the middle of nowhere". Their mom had been killed and her pups were found close by. Safe Haven rescued the entire litter. As far as breed goes, the good samaritan did not tell us what the Mom looked like, so we are guessing Pit Bull Terrier mixes & assume that they will be medium sized dogs. They are bright, alert, and super playful! Oh my goodness, they are TO CUTE! How could we turn down those little faces? You can't help but smile when you look at these ADORABLE PUPPIES!

Their foster Mom has said several times that she is having so much fun fostering these little ones! She takes them outside to play under the sun in the grass & they love it! They have a grand ol' time playing with each other & following her around when she runs, LOL! TO CUTE!!!

Like all puppies, they will need a patient person who has time to teach them everything they need to know & continue to socialize them as they are only babies. Currently they are fed 4 times a day. If need be, you can reduce it to 2 times a day, but 4 times is better for them. Their foster Mom says that they are very smart & learn very fast. They are already potty trained!

Age/Birthday: 2 months

Weight at last Vet visit: 11 lbs (We are estimating that the puppies will grow to be between 50 lbs - 60 lbs when they are adults)

Tested with:

Cats: She follows cats and is very curious about them & tries to play with them.

Dogs: She lives with 2 small adult dogs (& also her littermates), & is comfortable meeting new small dogs, but has been shy with the large breeds she has met so far. She has a dominant, outgoing personality with the dogs she knows. She is super playful!

Kids: She LOVES kids, but doesn't like being held. She is very interested in kids & is the first to run up & greet new kids. She likes to play with them and be chased around. She has been around the ages of 4-10.

Men: Sweet & playful.

Women: Sweet & playful.

Crate Trained: Yes, She goes in when she is asked, and will let you know if she needs to go potty by crying/scratching at the crate from the inside. Please keep in mind that puppies this young do not have the ability to "hold" it, so you need to let her out right away when she tells you she needs to go!

House Trained: Yes, She signals by crying loudly or barking at you.

Leash Trained: Her foster Mom is working with her on this & showing her how to walk on the leash. Once she gets older, she would do best with someone who can take her on daily walks for at least 30 minutes a day..

Car: Fell asleep

Other issues: None with this adorable puppy!.

If you are adopting a puppy, all puppies chew. This can be easily managed with rawhide bones or chew toys to direct their behavior to something that is acceptable to chew on, using bitter apple spray on the things they are not allowed to chew on, & crating your puppy when you are unable to monitor them. Spots is particularly attracted to plastic bags and stuffed toys.

ADOPTING A CAT OR DOG IS UP TO A 20 YEAR COMMITMENT! THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF WHEN THEY BECOME INCONVENIENT. THEY ARE INNOCENT LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS WITH FEELINGS THAT DEPEND ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF, LOVE, & PAY FOR EVERYTHING THIS PET NEEDS FOR UP TO 20 YEARS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN APPLICATION.

* Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if your dog gets lost, or you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog, as a harness is more expensive than a collar & some adopters will not buy them for this reason. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness, so it is much easier to restrain them & they will never loose their ID if they get lost.
If you need harnesses for your other dogs, additional harnesses can be purchased for a reduced price:
$5 for small
$6 for medium
$7 for large
