Important Information About Puppies:

Effie is a spontaneous, energetic, smart pup! She is dog and kid friendly. With that puppy energy, supervision while out of the crate is needed as she's an adventurous one! She is crate trained at nights and for naps, as she will go to her crate herself to nap most times. Currently learning sit and stay and needs some work on the leash still. Although she's tiny, that doesn't stop Effie from carrying the biggest toy around. If she's not playing, you will find her wanting a spot in your arms for love.

Puppies need to be let out for potty breaks approximately every 4 hours. If there isn't someone home during the day, then you will need a plan to make sure they get a mid-day break.

Puppies are blank slates and require training, including housebreaking. Adopters need to be prepared to provide this training along with appropriate socialization to help give them the best chance at becoming well-behaved and happy grown dogs.

Puppies should always be supervised when interacting with children and other animals. Puppies are fragile and a mishap could be fatal for them. They are also teething and getting to know their world, and boundaries, with their mouth. They have to be taught what appropriate chew toys are.

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.
