This cute girl is Sophie, and she is a Shepherd mix. She was born 9/8/08. Sophie will probably be around 45-50 pounds when fully grown. Both Sophie and her brother, Lance, are active and smart. They are learning some training basics from their foster mom. (See YouTube video referenced above; also watch 2nd training video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpUGDl8iGPA&feature=related ).
All ARRF adoptees will have up-to-date shots, be microchipped, and will have been spay/neutered when they become adoptable. Generally speaking, puppies should be good with gentle children, dogs, and cats. Of course, all puppies will need to be housetrained.
Puppies obviously need a bit of attention, so prospective adopters should have someone either at home during the day or able to make frequent visits during the day. Adopters must agree to go to positive reinforcement classes to make sure that these youngsters can "be all that they can be." In addition to the adoption fee, ARRF will collect a $50 deposit that is refundable upon proof of class attendance within 6 months of adoption.
