Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shirley is one fuzzy chunky puppy. She and her siblings were born to a homeless dog who sheltered under a deck to have and care for her puppies. A Good Samaritan started feeding her and made arrangements for her and her little family to come into the PUP rescue program. While mommy (pictured) was certainly on the slim side, puppies were not. They arrived fat and happy. They have been in their PUP foster home for two weeks and have been getting lots of socializing and loving. Born September 20, on November 15 they will be 8 weeks old and ready for their forever homes.
We believe Shirley will be in the large breed category when she is full grown. Mommy weighs about 60# now and she could still stand to gain a pound or two. We did DNA testing on Shirley and WOW. In summary Shirley is a German Shepherd Chihuahua. She is 31% German Shepherd and the other 69% is divided among Australian Cattle Dog, Shetland Sheepdog, White Swiss Shepherd, Chinook, American Pitbull, Rottweiler, American Stafordshire Terrier, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Akita, Samoyed, Labrador Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, English Spring Spaniel, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Catahoula Leopard Dog and 2% Saint Bernard. AKA mixed breed.
Shirley is well fed, happy and health. Shirley is doing a very good job on learning house breaking. She is crated at night and for 4-5 hours during the work day and keeps her crate clean. If she is urgent during the night she signals appropriately. She takes care of business right away when she goes out. She needs to be taken out regularly when she is loose in the house. She is not fully house broken but she is making great progress.
Puppy loves her outdoor time playing with the other resident pup and foster pups.
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.
Shirley has been vet checked, vaccinated and de-wormed. She will need a rabies vaccination at the adopter’s expense in January. We do place puppies outside the metro area if a firm plan for the neuter is in place; we do not ship. Her required alter surgery is covered by the adoption fee if it is done at 6 months at the PUP clinic. We require that she be altered at 6 months.
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.
