My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Declan. Declan is a 16 week-old yellow lab mix who currently weighs 30 lbs. He came to us off a rural farm and was shy & withdrawn. We started him off with a great foster where got to experience life inside a home! Once comfortable with that, it was onto our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program. Socialization is so important to a puppy and that development window is so short.

His inmate enjoys training an adult dog along with a puppy, so Declan not only has the full attention of his human but also the company of his new big brother Rio(who is also on our site) Rio is a confident, wonderfully tempered young male and is the perfect canine role model for little Declan. Together they are learning how to sit, stay, down & come. Together they are figuring out if they like the crate? if they should listen to the leash? and decide which treats they like best! Give the puppy another couple of weeks and he will be more than family ready!

Declan will need an attentive family that can continue to socialize him. He will mature to be a large dog and will need plenty of exercise so a fenced yard is strongly recommended. We think older children are more suitable, those that can be patient and understanding when Declan is unsure about encountering something new. It would also be ideal if the home already has a confident, older dog. He's a super sweet puppy and he's come so far, help him keep going!
