DESCRIPTION
Mother Goose came to us with her puppies when they were just a week old. Now that her babies are finally weaned, this sweet mama is ready to leave motherhood behind and start her new life puppy-free!
Mother Goose can be a little apprehensive when meeting new people, but once she warms up, get ready for all the love! She is a big fan of giving kisses and absolutely loves hugs. In fact, she can be a little forceful with her affection, so a home without small children is recommended.
This girl is also a HUGE fan of toys! If she can get her paws on it, she's ready to play! Mother Goose is currently relearning her leash manners and will need a refresher on potty training. She did appear to be potty trained when she first arrived, so hopefully a little consistency and patience will help her get back into the swing of things.
When Mother Goose first came to us, she was in very poor body condition and displayed some resource guarding over food around her puppies. Given her condition and the demands of caring for her babies, this behavior may have been influenced by her circumstances. Her future family should be mindful of this and provide a calm, consistent feeding routine while continuing to work with her using positive reinforcement.
Mother Goose has spent enough time taking care of everyone else, and now it's finally her turn to be spoiled! She's looking for a patient, loving family who will give her the time she needs to settle in, plenty of toys to play with, and all the hugs and kisses her heart desires.
Mother Goose has received her DHPP and Bordetella vaccinations. She is pending a microchip and heartworm test, and is scheduled to be spayed on 10/23.
ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
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.
The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
