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

Sweet puppy Azula is super affiliative & confident. She loves any human interaction and loves to lay on beds under the blankets. She does really well in the crate and is 95% potty trained in less than a week.
She is still learning to walk on leash & gets nervous when she sees big things outside, but recovers really quickly.
She has a good amount of drive, loves to chase balls and toys. She’s a puppy still & likes other dogs but super unsure on how to play with the adult dogs yet.
She loves to be held like a baby and looks to her owner/caretaker for guidance in situations when she’s nervous. She’s also really smart! She knows “sit” and “down”
Azula is being fostered in STOCKTON, CA.
DOB estimate around 12/14/2023
$375 adoption donation - vetted, up to date on shots — adoption donation includes spay appt, microchip and age appropriate vaccinations
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home
Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
