For Adoption: Tiffany!
Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle.
We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows
for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process.

So Adorable! This pretty girl is Tiffany she was one out of three puppies that were found roaming alone in a remote area in northern Manitoba defending for themselves for shelter and food. Since she has been in our care she has been on a high quality diet and is filling out to a healthy weight with a beautiful soft blond and white coat. This little angel will steal your heart when her eyes pierce your soul and she smothers you with kisses.
Tiffany will be a medium to large dog, sturdy, very high energy. She is an approximately 12 weeks old Lab/Husky mix. With her breed mixes we expect her to be a smart, loyal, affectionate and a best buddy. She will be capable of doing anything you wish to participate in, she is already showing signs that she will be interested in everything you’re doing, a sassy nosey body really. She will make a great family pet, she is so attentive already at this early age. Tiffany is a great mix of breeds for a family dog gentle, friendly natured, fun and super active. Of course, you have to get through the crazy puppy stage, but the dog she will become, when trained and socialized properly, will be a fantastic dog!
We will only consider a home for where someone is home or has the capability to come home throughout the day. She will need to be taken outside for bathroom breaks very regularly, will not be able to hold it for an 8hr work day. We are also looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. They need constant supervision while young to expedite the house-training stage, which is coming along well and to ensure they aren’t chewing on anything inappropriate. We are also looking for a family that will crate train as we fully believe that this is the best for pups and offers them a quiet and secure “den” to call their own. A crate trained pup is a blessing as it offers a safe place to put them when you can’t be watching them all the time. Most naps are in her crate and she has no problems being in there, however we have to also have our cuddle time. She loves cuddling up and sleeping on your lap for one on one time.
We will consider a home for Tiffany with children over 6yrs of age. Puppies have their terrible nippy/jumpy/bitey stage coming up and will be too much for younger children. If there will be young children in the home (6-11) then we would need the family to be experienced dog owners who are fully aware of how to manage a young, excitable puppy with young, excitable children. Supervision is key and the adults in the home would need to ensure that puppy/children management is a task they wish to take on. For a home without young children we would consider 1st time dog owners. Her family needs to take obedience training and socialization seriously and have the time to dedicate in the 1st year of Tiffany's life. The more that is done in the 1st year, the better dog she will be! She is so treat motivated, she will be putty in your hands when it comes to training. Right now we mostly use her food ‘kibble’ and she thinks it’s like the best thing ever. Her recall is fantastic, she can’t run fast enough to you. Can just imagine the great ‘behaved’ dog she will become.
A home with or without other dogs is just fine, she does have her two siblings with her plus two older foster sibling in the home now. If there is another dog in the home it will need to be a neutered male dog that is tolerant of puppies and willing to play. A home with a female dog won’t be suited for her in her forever home, A home with a cat would be fine as we’ll keeping in mind the proper training and supervision is key around a cat. Tiffany won’t be suitable for high rise apartment/condo living. She is going to thrive if someone is at home majority of the days, she will be that excellent companion girl close all the time. She would love her people to be active and outdoorsy, she will need a couple walks a day in all weather. She will be suited for higher energy activities so very active people would be a great fit. She will require more than just simple walks around the block though. A home with a good sized fenced in yard would be ideal for her to burn some energy between walks, and convenient for puppy training.
Tiffany is too little to be spayed/neutered before adoption so potential adopters must live with in a reasonable distance (within an hour) of Cambridge as she must be returned to our vet at a later date to be spayed (included in adoption cost). Adopters must be able to drop her off in the morning and pickup later that day for this surgery. Adopters will be responsible for the continuation of puppy vaccinations and all other required vet care at their veterinarian of choice. She will have had everything medically that puppies their age should have and has been microchipped as well. The forever family must also not have any holidays away planned for months coming up after adoption or be planning to move in the near future. Stability is key in months after adoption.
We will be expecting our adopt families to attend puppy socialization class with Tiffany immediately upon adoption, along with, at minimum, level 1 obedient school after. The guidance and lessons learned in puppy classes are very important to getting your pup off to a good start. We take our responsibilities very seriously and only want the best for her. We adore Tiffany and will settle for nothing less than a dedicate, loving family that is well aware of the breed requirements and the needs of a puppy. We also are looking for families that want the dog she will grow to be become, not just the little bundle of curry cuteness.
If you have been thinking about adding a medium/large breed puppy to your family and have the time and patience to properly train a pup then Tiffany may just be perfect for you. We know you will fall in love with her as deeply as we have when you meet. Tiffany is simply adorable.
