Start your day with Coffee! Coffee is filled to the brim with love and puppy snuggles to share with his forever family! While he enjoys wrestling with his siblings, and would likely do great with another dog in the home, there's no where he seems to enjoy more than being curled in someone's lap! Despite his young age, Coffee has good focus and and has begun working on commands like sit and down. Though Coffee would thrive with almost any family, we would encourage that he not go to an apartment or condo with shared walls, since he is not afraid to protest how upset he is when his human friends leave. Though he does seem to settle after a few minutes, we would not want people complaining about the noise.
Due to overwhelming interest in puppies and an already tight work load, we ask that you please not call about these puppies, but instead please submit your application to animalservices@butlercountyohio.org and staff will follow up with you. They all seem to be happy and healthy pups who will most likely be in the 40-60lb range when older. We do not know what their breed is and as an organization no longer choose to make guesses.
