What am I? A SUSPECTED MIX OF LABRADOR AND TERRIER MAYBE? (this is only based off of the foster’s experience, her exact breed is unknown).
How Big Will I Get? It’s not known, however Santorini is the biggest in the litter. This alone doesn’t guarantee he will become a large dog, however I would think his adult weight will exceed 50 lbs.
How much do I currently weigh? 7 lbs at approx. 8 weeks of age.
Favorite toys: I love toys, toys that crinkle, toys that roll, toys that I can play tug of war with.
Leash Trained – Not yet, not until the puppy can be outside.
Crate trained: No, Santorini and his siblings sleep in a pen. Should crating him be desired by his potential hooman’s, that is something they would have to commit to train him to do with all the bells and whistles that come with crate training!
What does Santorini’s ideal living situation look like? This always begins with an individual and/or family that understands that adopting a puppy is a lifetime commitment. We aren’t looking for a perfection, we are looking for an adopter who doesn’t give up and is ok with making mistakes. A breed such as the Labrador mix is intelligent and requires a role and job within a family. So, that would need to be taken into consideration when adopting him. The next quality of an ideal minded adopter is someone who understands great relationships are developed, over time with structure, consistency, limits, boundaries and authority. The antithesis of this is an individual who believes it is simply up to “luck”. Santorini is a puppy, with puppy energy and his fur-ever home must have a plan to contain him when they or Santorini require a break. While he is in foster care, he is doted on and loved. There are areas of his development that his fur-ever home will have to develop themselves, such as walking on a leash. If they don’t know how to train an animal, they need to be willing to seek one-on-one help from a paid professional or look into dog training websites and follow the complimentary advice given there. Again, a puppy and/or dog is a wonderful addition to any family and it’s a decision we commit to when the animal is cute and when the animal is not-so-cute.
Health – Santorini is fully vetted to date on vaccines and prevents. His neuter appointment is scheduled on 11 December 2024 and he is free to go home as soon as that evening.
Still here? What are you waiting for? Schedule your meet and greet to find out if you two “click”!
