When we received word from a concerned Good Samaritan that a litter of puppies was living out in the snow in frigid conditions and she was making sure they were fed, we sprang into action to rescue these precious babies. They are now safe and warm in foster homes and quickly learned about cuddling up to people with their adorable, playful ways. Mom was a lovely purebred black Lab and the dad's mom was a purebred Lab. Miss Lola and her four handsome brothers, Carl, Gunner, Chester and Raphael will have you wrapped around their little paw before you know it!
Puppies, while adorable, are not for everyone. Think carefully if your lifestyle has room for the extraordinary responsibility of raising a puppy. Do you truly have time for the daily nurturing and constant supervision required? Do you mind piddles on your floor, chewing on your things and, before you know it, a “teenage puppy” with ideas of his or her own? The proper handling and socialization of a puppy are critical to their development into a well adjusted adult. As they grow they will require your steady, kind leadership, commitment to their training and rely on you for their extensive daily exercise needs.
If you would like one of these puppies, a “dog to be”, to consider your application, please tell us why your home would be suitable for a puppy in the comments section of your application.
The puppies will only be placed in homes with (1) adults or older children who can treat a dog with kindness and respect and (2) one that clearly has the dedication and substantial time throughout the day to devote to raising a puppy to responsible adulthood.
In addition to the adoption fee, there is a required $200 spay/neuter deposit refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. Your will be required to sign an Adoption Agreement.
