Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. If you elect to contact us via e-mail it may take several weeks for us to get back to you. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. Please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption.
Charles is a friendly, outgoing and playful pup who is sociable, non-demanding and easy to be live with. Charles is a happy little survivor, against all odds. He was hanging around a gas station in a 600 person town. It was cold and snowy, and he was scared and starving. People put out food for him but couldn’t catch him. His lucky day came when a PUP volunteer with a little girl in tow lured him and took him to her home until we could transport him to PUP in Saint Paul. The volunteer said she never would have caught him without the little girl’s help. Apparently the child made the pup feel safe. He loves people and gets along well with other dogs. The vet aged him at over 5 months. We believe he will be in the upper end of small breed as an adult. He is quite fine boned and petite. Truth be told, we have NO CLUE what breed he is.
Charles takes care of business as soon as he goes outside. He is nearly housebroken. He is thriving in his foster home and is ready to go to his forever home. He is living with other similar sized pups of all sizes so he is learning all about socializing with other dogs and the neighbor kids are making sure he has plenty of human time.
The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog.
Charles has been neutered, wormed and had all core vaccinations including rabies. The adoption fee (check or cash) is $350. We do place puppies outside the metro area but do not ship.
