Story
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 6 months (as of 3/19/24) Weight: 20 pounds (as of 3/1/24) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Love Affirmation looks to be a pint-sized lab mix puppy who is a sweetie-pie. Love is crate trained and working on her leash and house-training skills. She enjoys toys and engaging in a game of tug-of-war or fetch. She is still learning about this big world, so will need someone patient but she is catching on quickly that treats, excursions, toys and playtime are awesome! This litter did not have many social interactions during a young age as they were battling parvo virus. They are currently working on socialization in controlled environments. Love loves other dogs and looks to them for guidance. She is looking for a home with another playful dog to show her the ropes. She can be nervous around new people, particularly with touch and handling so we are going slow while teaching her that pets are good! She has made great strides while in foster care but is still looking for a patient home who does not have too many social expectations of her. She would do best in a household that is quiet and predictable without any young children. Once she is comfortable you see her playful, puppy side come out and she is just so cute. She loves a good play session with other puppies or even adult dogs. She is very easy to fall in "Love" with! We strongly recommend that all of our dogs, especially puppies, attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it can build confidence and socialization for the dog. It's also fun! It often takes a lot of time, energy, and patience to bring up a puppy--and it's absolutely worth it. Medical Note: Love is a parvo survivor. Her last symptoms were on 12/6/2023, and we are so happy that she is okay now and ready to find her furever home! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor. April 29, 2024, 2:09 pm
