KNOWN WITH DOGS: These pups are great with other dogs and WILL REQUIRE another confident dog in the adoptive home to help them continue their socialization.
KNOWN WITH CATS: Unkown exactly but we suspect they will be just fine. They are young and small and usually can acclimate to kitties well.
KNOWN WITH KIDS: These pups are shy and a bit undersocialized so we are only considering homes with adults OR kids over the age of 15 in order to set everyone up for success. These pups are not currently fans of younger children - they scare them.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Still working on this as they are young and new to us!
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Pups are working on paper training, crate training and full housebreaking. The foster will be glad to share exact details and schedules to help the transition!
KNOWN LIKES: The pups love playing, other dogs and toys! They are warming up to humans and will need a bit of time to get more confident.
KNOWN DISLIKES: The pups are a bit undersocialized and warming up to humans. They will need patience and love and another confident dog to help them along. So a quieter home will be best for them.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: These adorable pups came from a breeder who left them a bit undersocialized but otherwise well cared for. They are as cute as they appear in the photos. We are only considering homes with another confident dog in the home and either with all adults or children over 15 years of age. No exceptions - as we want to set everyone up for success here.
