My story

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

Meet Potsie!
Potsie, one of four siblings we pulled from a shelter that, like most shelters, is always full and needs to make place for more dogs by killing those who've been the most extended waiting.
Fonzie was only six weeks or so when he and his siblings were scheduled to die. We got the notice and got them out to safety.

Potsie, like his brothers, is full of life and energy. They like to wrestle between them and the little pig until they get tired. That's the time for a good sleep before food, another long round of playing and sleep.

They get vaccinated as per their age, dewormed, and microchipped. They are too young to get the rabies Vax or be neutered.

As with all puppies, they are funny, loving, playful, and love attention. They are being trained to use pee-pads.
In mid-April, he weighs only 7 lbs
and still somewhat doesn't feel secure enough with people. He will need love and patience and, in no time, will feel happy and safe.
About eight weeks old.
We are unsure about the breed mix, thinking maybe Heeler and Lab.

We like them to find a home as soon as it is safe because the adjustment is so much easier on them.

They are currently fostered in Texas. They can come to your home on our next transport on May 11th.
