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.
Robert is a sturdy Australian Kelpie /MAYBE Bernese Mountain Dog cross. We think he is about 4 months old and will be a large breed dog. We are Guessing there is some Bernese in this big boy, partly because of his coloring and partly because he is such a sturdy fellow. Robert and 2 other pups were surrendered to PUP because the family could not afford to care for them. They had been living outside so their coats are thick and they are accustomed to pooping and peeing outdoors. Robert knows to take care of business right away when he goes out and is ready for full out housebreaking. He walks well on a leash and has a ball playing with the other pups in the fenced yard. he does sell meeting new people. He is thriving in his foster home and is ready to go to his forever home.
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.
Robert has been vet checked, neutered, wormed and had routine vaccinations. The $350 adoption fee is (check or cash). We do place puppies outside the metro area. We do not ship.
