Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Veronica is beautiful, loving and a sweet cuddler who is just over 4 months old. We did DNA testing on her and Veronica is going to be big girl. She is 41% German Shepherd and 23% Mastiff with a dash of cattle dog, bull dog, Catahoula, Bichon and Chihuahua. We assume she will be over 60# but that is best guess. Most people who first see Veronica think she must be part lab and she has the webbed toes for swimming to prove it. But, alas, while she is part Chihuahua she is no lab. Her coat is a bit wiry and wavy and all together beautiful.
Veronica is just plain nice. She is easy to be around and is non-demanding. Who ever adopts her is sure to say “best dog I ever had!” She loves people, loves children and gets along well with other dogs. She is not quite house broken but she is crated during the day for 4-5 hours and at night. She happily goes into her crate expecting a wee treat. She is very well socialized. She does some leash walking and does pull some to begin with but once the walk gets going she seems to settle into the routine.
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.
Veronica has been vet checked, fully vaccinated including rabies, and wormed. The $375 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of pup’s required spay/neuter at 6 months of age provided it is done by the PUP vet. We do place puppies outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship.
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. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.
