Story
SHAMO WILL BE AT A MEET AND GREET ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 20 AT ARBEITER BREWING COMPANY 3038 MINNEHAHA MINNEAPOLIS, 6:00 - 8:00
Shamo’s mommy is a Great Pyrenees and daddy is a German Shepherd. Born on October 20, puppy is ready for his forever home. Mommy is a family pet who had an unplanned pregnancy. The family surrendered the puppies as they felt they couldn’t find suitable homes for them.
Shamo will be a very large dog when he is full grown. Shamo is well fed, well socialized happy and health. He is using newspapers in the house and regularly going outside to play and he does get his business done when he is outside, but he has not really begun work on house breaking beyond using newspapers. Puppy loves his 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.
Shamo has been vet checked, vaccinated and de-wormed. He will need one or two additional puppy vaccinations plus rabies at the adopter’s expense. We do place puppies outside the metro area if a firm plan for the neuter is in place; we do not ship. His required alter surgery is covered by the adoption fee if it is done at 6 months at the PUP clinic. We require that he 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.
