Story
Little munchkins found behind a trash can by a vet tech in her front yard -  I'd say they were pretty lucky after an initial terrible start.  No one knows how they landed there and mama was nowhere to be found.They were whisked into the clinic and checked out -  thankfully they were found to be in good shape.  First vaccines are now on board and once they get their second, they can travel to New England.Typical puppies - having a blast playing and getting into trouble - fosters are working on housetraining and crate training but we make no promises!!They are getting socialization with the other dogs in the home and family members are having fun playing with them too.Here is what her foster mom had to say; "This sweet pup h as come out of her shell recently". "She was shy at first by once we introduced her to my big babies she really thrived!!" "She's the pack leader and loves to play". "She loves cats and dogs alike, give her a friend and a toy she's great for hours!"

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 Beatrice needs a major surgery before she can be adopted; for more details and/or to contribute to her medical bills, please see here . Age: ~ 4 Months (as of 3/29/2024) Weight: 11.2 lbs (as of 2/23/2024) Location: RI Beatrice is available for adoption to Massachusetts residents, as well as those in the other New England states. This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. A puppy from the Classic litter , a charming group of pups, would be a bundle of joy for any dog lover. These puppies are characterized by their endearing qualities, making them irresistible.  They are superb cuddle bugs - these little ones are experts at melting hearts. While all the puppies exhibit an affectionate nature, the boys in the litter may initially appear a bit more reserved than their female counterparts. However, once comfortable, they are sure to warm up and become just as affectionate and lively. In the evenings, the living room comes alive with their nightly zoomies, as they joyfully run in playful circles, bringing a dose of happiness to the household. Beyond their energetic bursts, these puppies are known for being incredibly affectionate, making them the perfect companions for cozy moments. With their playful antics and undeniable cuteness, the Classic litter of heeler mix puppies is sure to capture the hearts of those lucky enough to have them as part of their family. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: www.sosarl.org/aa/ **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. 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 19, 2024, 2:49 pm
