My story

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

Meet Spunky!

Spunky is a 2-year old mixed pup who weighs about 40lbs.

Spunky was rescued as a stray and is a happy boy! He is ready to find his forever people! Spunky enjoyed a fun adventure with community volunteers before arriving at his foster home, and he was all smiles the whole time! He gave plenty of hugs and kisses to everyone he met.

Spunky has made loads of progress since his arrival at his foster home! He is learning appropriate ways to play, understands “go potty” and sits patiently while waiting for his food and putting on his leash. He joined the family on a short trip to DE and was the perfect traveler.

He would love a family to play with; he is great with kids and other dogs.
He is now in a foster home with kids, cats and another dog. He does have a lot of energy and plays hard.

Spunky will be the perfect dog for a quiet home with a fence. He loves to fetch and curl up with his people at the end of the day. He is learning that we don't use our teeth to play, and he needs a lot of reassurance when it comes to strangers and their dogs.

He knows "sit," "kennel," and "good boy," which translates to "yes, I see those other people on the trail; no need to bark at them."

Spunky is a sweet boy that loves his people and never wants to miss a second. He is great on leash and is housebroken.

PLEASE NOTE:

We review veterinary care for applicants. This includes regular well visits, up-to-date and consistent core vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm and tick-borne disease testing, and regular monthly heartworm prevention.

You MUST contact your vet to give them permission to speak to us for the vet check BEFORE we call them. We will not be able to call veterinarians multiple times and we would hate for an application to be turned down because no authorization is on file with the vet.

For unaltered puppies, adopters without a solid dog vet history will have an additional $200 adoption donation and a distance restriction. After submitting proof from the vet that the puppy is altered within the given timeframe, this extra donation (spay/neuter deposit) will be returned to the adopter.

Puppies cannot be crated for more than their age in months plus 1 hour. Regular potty breaks will be needed to house-train your puppy. Please make proper arrangements and let us know what these arrangements are when you apply.

Application can be found at www.puppypawsrescue.org

If your application meets our adoption criteria, we will contact you within 1 week. You will then be asked to schedule an interview and virtual home visit. Please check your SPAM folder for emails from PuppyPawsRescue. Due to the volume of applications, applications that do not move forward to an interview, may not hear back from us within that time frame.

Our team is an all-volunteer team, managing families, our paying jobs, households, foster dogs, application processing, interviews and home visits, follow-up, transports, and much more. We ask that you be courteous and patient with us.
