Story
Hello, my name is Daphne! I was born on (or around) March 9th, 2023. My foster parents say I am an extremely smart, sweet, spunky little pup who likes to tell you how I feel! I am still very young and learning to go potty outside. I am catching on but still need someone to remind me. I do very well in my kennel and my playpen alone. When I want out, I do not have a problem letting my family know! Here is a day in the life of me! I wake up at about 5:30 am every day. I know that is the time to go outside to go potty. Then I come back inside to rest for a bit, while my foster mom and dad take the big dogs on their walk. Then, the best part, I get fed! This usually happens around 6:30 am. About 15 minutes later, I'm ready to go back outside to go potty again!! (As you can tell, I'm really getting this potty thing down!). After all that, I get some playtime inside and outside. I am super playful and enjoy a good tug of war match! But I also love snuggling. I will tell you when I want some attention. I will even tell you when I want to go outside! I get fed again around 6:00 pm, then go outside a few more times. for some fresh air and exploration before bed, which is usually around 9:00 pm. I sleep in my playpen at night with my sister, and I will sleep all through the night! One night I got to sleep with my foster parents because they felt guilty for being gone longer than normal that day. I slept all through the night! I don't love baths but will tolerate them. I am hoping to learn to like them more! I do great with dogs and cats! I enjoy being with the big dogs and will snuggle up with them for naps. Everyone says I am very sweet and loving and will give anyone who talks to me plenty of puppy kisses! I especially look forward to when my human foster siblings come home from school! I would love a home with kids and a fur sibling that matches my energy! Since I am a puppy, I would greatly benefit from being socialized at pet stores, out in the community, or doggie daycare. I would really like a place to be able to just hang out and lay in the sun in a fenced in yard. My foster mom would love someone to adopt me, who is willing to stay in touch with her so she can see pictures of me growing up! Daphne is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. Her adopters will be responsible for her last distemper and rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age. Since she is still working on potty training, her forever home needs to have the ability to let her out to potty at least every 4 hours throughout the day and provide basic obedience training. She will also need a physically fenced yard so he can run and play safely. Adopters must be within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only.

Story
Hello, my name is Valma! I was born on (or around) March 9th, 2023. My foster parents say I am extremely smart! I already know what it means to "go outside! I am very loving and enjoy playing with humans and other dogs. I tend to be a little more independent and less vocal than my sister. I do very well in my kennel and in my playpen. I LOVE to play and go potty outside!! I am extremely affectionate and a bit more reserved than my sister. Here is a day in the life of me! I wake up at about 5:30 am every day. I know that is the time to go outside to go potty. Then I come back inside to rest for a bit, while my foster mom and dad take the big dogs on their walk. Then, the best part, I get fed! This usually happens around 6:30 am. About 15 minutes later, I'm ready to go back outside to go potty again!! (As you can tell, I'm really getting this potty thing down!). After all that, I get some playtime inside and outside. By that time, I'm tuckered out so I nap next to my foster mom's desk while she works. On her breaks, I get to go back outside to get some puppy energy burned! I get fed again around 6:00 pm, then go outside a few more times. for some fresh air and exploration before bed, which is usually around 9:00 pm. I sleep in my playpen at night with my sister, and I will sleep all through the night! One night I got to sleep with my foster parents because they felt guilty for being gone longer than normal that day. I slept all through the night! I LOVE baths! And I mean, I love them! My foster mom could not stop laughing because I laid down in the bathtub, curled up like a baby hippo, and let her spray the water on me! I do great with dogs and cats! I enjoy being with the big dogs and will snuggle up with them for naps. Everyone says I am very sweet and loving and will give anyone who talks to me plenty of puppy kisses! I especially look forward to when my human foster siblings come home from school! I would love a home with kids and a laid back fur sibling to play and nap with! Since I am a puppy, I would greatly benefit from being socialized at pet stores, out in the community, or doggie daycare. I would really like a place to be able to just hang out and lay in the sun in a fenced in yard. My foster mom would love someone to adopt me, who is willing to stay in touch with her so she can see pictures of me growing up! She's always telling me how special I am and how perfect I am and I think that is pretty cool! Velma is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. Her adopters will be responsible for her last distemper and rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.
