Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13605Dale is a sweet, curious puppy. He likes to eat, play, play play, snuggle, nap and repeat. He has the features and markings of a Rottweiler, but at barely 4 lbs I don’t think that is in his dna. Mom is only 12 lbs.Dale and his brother Brennan couldn’t be more adorable. If you are looking for a tiny companion and you have the patience for a puppy, you will not be disappointed with Dale!I’m a sweet pup in search of my forever family. I'm searching for…- Someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hours, at least not until I am older. The older I am, the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quickly and when I'm bored I could get in trouble.- I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun!- I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!Please note that because this puppy is so young, it has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that the immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, the puppy MUST stay out of public places where it could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.This puppy is microchipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccines and monthly preventatives.
