Time for an introduction to our recently rescued pups, coming to us all the way from Manitoba. They were living outdoors and now that they have settled into rescue life they are looking forward to a much brighter future!
To answer the inevitable question "what breed is Sassy?" we really don't know for sure. We always call our Manitoba rescues "Manitoba mixes". Mom was a mix and we have no information on Dad. Whatever their DNA consists of, they are beautiful, sweet and deserving. They are expected to be large adults once fully grown.
Sassy is thought to be around 9 weeks old and has had her first wellness check with the vet, 1st & 2nd DAPP vaccines, fecal testing, deworming, parasite prevention (Nexgard Spectra) and is microchipped.
She has settled nicely into a foster home - she is being fostered with her brother Arlo. Her foster momma has the following to say: Sassy is a very happy girl, tail wagging to the max. Very playful. She is curious, kind to her brother. Loves to be outdoors, runs and hops everywhere. Giver of lots of kisses and cuddles. Good at- "sit" and "come". Loves to play with Arlo but also makes quiet time for herself in the kitchen, with toys and naps. Will ask to be picked up, then we walk around the house and have gentle conversations. Always so happy to see me in the mornings.
Sassy enjoys her brother and and would probably enjoy a friendly, well-balanced fur sibling. She has not met any cats. She is seeking a dog experienced home - if there are any kids in the home we require that they are school-aged (6+) & dog savvy, ideally with large breed dogs.
We do not know her experience with dogs before arriving to us but as with most puppies she would benefit from continued socialization with other friendly dogs...but no dog parks please! This goes for all of our available dogs - please google reasons why your dog should not attend a dog park. However we do think puppy lessons (individual & group classes) are a great way to train, bond with and help set up your new family member for success.
Puppies this age require someone home more often than not - they require crate training, potty training & socialization and should have someone available to help them with this every few hours. Being left alone for a full work day would not be suitable for any of the pups in our care.
Please send an EMAIL (or Petfinder form + follow up email) with additional questions or to request an application and meeting. Melody and siblings will be meeting with approved adopters and ready for forever homes the weekend of April 17-18th.
*** Please note that we only adopt locally, ideally within an hour or so from our Chesterville/Morewood, ON. location ***
