Here is a 1 week update from Neena's foster home: Neena is an absolute gem!! She is calm, gentle and so loving. She’s been with us for a week living with a bunch of other dogs of all ages and sizes and she is doing so well. She wasn’t playing much when she first arrived but is now play fighting with the other dogs and learning to play fetch. She has only had 1 accident in the house. She rarely barks or cries and loves cuddles and she likes to give nice little kisses to ears during a cuddle.
These pups are sturdy, active, playful well rounded social with dogs. They have not met a large variety of people but they are learning city skills now. They will meet more people in a day in foster than did all the time they were growing up. They were very rural pups. Their mother was very friendly with a solid gold temperament – she has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and returned to her family now that the pups are ready for adoption. The pups need someone home most of the time until they are a year old. They have never been alone their entire lives – there is always a human around them and lots of doggie companionship.
Puppies are cute as all heck but do come with the responsibility of providing training to raise them to be good canine citizens. While we start all our dogs on housebreaking and they do learn quite a bit from following the older dogs outside you can expect to put in the effort to continue the right behaviours and curb the incorrect ones. You will need to walk them often and praise them like they invented a way to turn rock into gold.
Adopters should also plan on taking a puppy training class or two. This is great socialization for your pup and can provide useful tips for a lifetime of ‘good dog’. Make sure you have a sense of humour with pups, they sometimes try really, really hard to please but get it all wrong and do the wrong thing when they meant to impress you with their cleverness. These humourous antics can include bringing you your underwear when you have company (hey you might need em), tipping the water bowl (the cat dared me), or tearing up the newspaper (maybe he disagreed with the editorial). Try to maintain a sense of humour while guiding puppy to the right ways of doing things, eventually he will be an adult dog and so much a part of your family that you couldn't imagine life without him.
Pets can be flown to new homes. Application and homecheck required for all homes, the dog will go to the best home for the dog.
