Eric is an adorable puppy who wants to play with dogs and then crawl in your lap to cuddle. He is a people pleaser and attaches deeply to those around him. He doesn't to let you out of his sight and he makes piggy noises to say "wait for me". He is the cutest! He is clever and curious, and will do best with an adopter who is ready for all the stages that puppyhood and being an adolescent brings.

OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense. A $150 refundable deposit will be collected at the time of adoption, and refunded upon receipt of proof of enrollment in a positive reinforcement training program.

Eric's adoption fee is $350, and this cute kid is excited to grow up in his forever home!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
