Story
Hello to my future family…you found me! My name is Popclaw, part of “The Boys” Litter at the Rescue Crew. My momma had us while a stray…outside in the cold up north. But, after a few days, we were transported to the Twin Cities had had a great setup for the start of our lives. I have five other siblings, most of them adopted. In the pictures, you can see my breed makeup as someone kindly donated a kit to our foster mom. I am the best mutty-mutt-mix! My foster mom calls me Poppy or Pop-Pop because I like to pop up on her lap any chance that I have.
I get along with other dogs well, although don’t just throw me in the dog pit and run! Some might call me an extravert because I just love any dog or person…especially kids! There are so many dogs in my foster home! A Lab, a Pittie and a Great Pyrenees (resident dogs). There is also a younger litter and mom, and I love to play with mom when she comes out of her whelping room! I get along with all the dogs here but have my favorites. As for kids, there are no kids in the house, but at events the kids flock to me (and I to the kids!)….I love the snuggles and the energy, and will always give love in return. I would do best in a home with kids to play with!!!
As a puppy, I am still getting used to lots of things. We are working on kennel training, and I eat my meals and treats in my kennel…and because of that, I realize my kennel is a super awesome place. I sleep soundly and quietly in my kennel through the night. I’m always excited for food and foster mom says I am a great eater (not picky at all)! I also LOVE treats. My favorites are cold baby carrots, frozen chunks of watermelon, and sweet potato chips! Potty training is going super well! I have learned to ring the bell to potty outside, but sometimes I just ring it to go outside…I don’t get treats when I do that. While I have had some accidents inside, I am getting much better at going outside!
I love toys, especially the squeaky or crinkly ones. But my ultimate favorite is finding a cozy spot near my person and relaxing. We have started some training and are working on impulse control. I am really good at being patient for food or treats by sitting nicely. Foster mom says I am super smart and will do anything for a treat (=easy to train!). I have learned to not bite/nip at the humans, and that I only get pets and love when I have “four on the floors” (not jumping…in progress!). Foster mom also says I have the recall of a champ because I know when I “come” I get treats! But mostly, I am just being a puppy and having a good time. I also have not destroyed anything, and for that, foster mom is super proud!
Are you the family for me? Maybe you have a kid who needs a dog? Or maybe you just want the ultimate cuddler (my whole litter are master cuddlers!). I always have the sweetest look with my big puppy eyes, and am always attentive to the human. Foster mom says I don’t photograph well, but am gorgeous in person…and my coloring is becoming a beautiful black and orange that sparkles in the sun! I would do great with any family, with or without kids, with or without other dogs. Fill out an app to meet me…you won’t be disappointed!
