My story

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

Meet Joel aka Chunks. Joel is almost 6 months old and currently weighs 21lbs. Joel came to us with his momma Maggie (who found her forever home) and two siblings. Joel is friendly, playful and the mischievous one in the litter. He loves to chew on toys, play with his siblings, getting belly rubs and especially loves to eat. He also loves playing and exploring in the yard, and though he is not a fan of rain, he has tolerated his bath times well. Joel seems to be a big fan of children and meeting new people but like most puppies, he tends to be mouthy and loves to chew, so he must always be supervised, especially with small children. Joel does well sleeping through the night in a puppy pen with his siblings. Potty training is a work in progress. He will use potty pads if not brought outside in time. Joel's mom Maggie was a petite chihuahua mix. We don't know who his dad was but most likely some type of hound, cur or terrier. We anticipate he will be medium sized but can't be certain. Like all puppies he will need to have potty breaks every 2-3 hours and to continue his socialization with people and other dogs. Obedience training is highly recommended. A fenced yard is also important so Joel has space to run around and burn off all his puppy energy. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe your family has the time, energy and love to devote to raising an active puppy, please send in an application and let us know more about your family.
