Story
Meet the S pups. This fab 5, made up of 2 females and 3 males are lab, beagle, terrier mixes and will most likely be medium to large pups when full grown. These squishy and fluffy bundles just arrived at our rescue and while we are still getting to know them; we do know they are all very energetic, playful, loving and confident pups - loving life in their foster homes, tiring themselves out and making us smile and laugh with their puppy playfulness! Apply now to make one of these gorgeous pups part of your family, we're guessing they won't be with us for long!! The adoption fee for this dog is $375, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. An additional $100 spay/neuter deposit is required at time of adoption. **No extensions or exceptions will be made to the required spay/neuter date. Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training - no exceptions! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives and will need to be spayed/neutered at the age of 6 months. Please note, this pup's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age and therefore, s/he is not suited for Apartment/Condo living or Town homes without a private fenced yard and will not be able to go to public places where s/he could possibly be exposed to the germs of unvaccinated dogs, such as PetSmart/PetCo and dog parks until s/he is 16 weeks old. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system. Must be spayed/neutered by September 22, 2024. For more information, please email at fbognon@petconnectrescue.org. **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**May 28, 2023, 4:31 am
