My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Samantha is a solid white bundle of joy and kisses! She is very spry, loves to play and can cuddle with the best of them. She has shown some small signs of resource guarding which we are training out of her and she is doing very well because she is extremely smart. An experienced adopter would be best; one that is familiar with training or is willing to attend puppy obedience classes in her early months. She would do well with a family that is active, although she can cuddle with the best of them.She is a love. We are falling for her hard her at Caddywumpus Cottage.

Thank you for inquiring with Caddywumpus Cottage Paws. We always have wonderful dogs in search of committed forever homes and appreciate you coming to us for your next family member.

We will be very honest about a dog's known background, habits, and personality; however you can expect a "get-acquainted" time together. Be aware that the dog may be anxious and frightened on its first day in your home. Anticipate a reasonable adjustment period. At first, it may appear nervous, have loose stools, vomit, or forget its housetraining manners. Being forewarned is a major step in the adjustment phase.

Our donation fee is minimal for services; more for dogs that require additional vetting before adoption. Our adoption agreement asks that you return the dog to us if you are unable to keep it. We will try our best to match you up with a family pet that will offer you its lifetime in companionship.

A lack of understanding of natural dog behavior is a huge part of the dog overpopulation problem. If people had stable dogs in their homes it would be rare they would ever give them up, and when they did have to it would be much easier to find a home for a behaved dog. It is the dogs with "issues" that our pounds and shelters are full of. Most homeless dogs are not the stable dogs that have had their instincts met. The good part is it is never too late for a dog; they can change if the humans around them change. It is the humans that need the training.
