The Herb Litter puppies are accepting adoption applications! These five precious pups came to us last month after having been found abandoned in eastern WA. They’ve since been in loving foster homes while we’ve gotten them veterinary care and gotten to know them, and they’re now ready to find their forever homes!
We estimate they were born around mid-June and a DNA test was done on one of the pups (Sage) and the results were not what we expected! Based on three of the pups (Oregano, Rosemary, and Sage) having the short, long bodies typical of Dachshunds, we assumed they likely had a fair amount of dachshund in them, but Sage’s DNA showed only 2%! The results showed 12 breeds, with the highest content being American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier (55% between the two). Also shown was 14% Chihuahua, 7% Pomeranian, and 6% Pug. These pups are definite supermutts!
We expect them to grow to about medium size, though their current weights vary. As of early October, Rosemary and Sage weigh around 11 pounds and will likely stay on the smaller side of medium. Oregano and Thyme are about 13 pounds, while Basil, the biggest of the bunch, weighs in at 19 pounds and may grow to be on the bigger side of medium.
The Herb litter has already had a great start in their foster homes, but like all puppies, they will need continued exposure and training in their forever homes to grow up to be their best selves.
If you are interested in adopting one of the Herb litter puppies, please fill out an application from our website https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application. The puppies' adoption fee is $550 and they will come to their adopters spayed/neutered, microchipped, and with age appropriate vaccinations. Per our rescue policy, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old for puppies.
We work closely with each approved applicant to determine the best match for each puppy and adoptive family based on what we know about their personalities and temperaments.
