Oriole

Looks like: Retriever, Labrador/Shepherd, Australian Male, 2 months old (estimated), 7 pounds Sweet Oriole is almost ready to land in his forever home and start his life with his very lucky next family! His mama, Shadow, had an unexpected litter of puppies to the surprise of her senior guardian. Due to the guardian's own medical needs, she was unable to provide the pups with the care they needed. The papa dog has been neutered so there will be no more unexpected puppies. And mama Shadow will get spayed once the pups are weaned. Shadow and her pups are currently in a POMDR foster home. Shadow will go back to her guardian when the pups no longer need her. The puppies will be 8 weeks old on August 3. Mama is a Labrador mix who is about 60 pounds. Dad is smaller at about 45 pounds and seems to be an Australian Shepherd/Catahoula mix. The puppies will be medium to large-sized when fully grown. We ask that you give as much detail as possible on your questionnaire about the qualities you are searching for in your next family member. Our staff will use this information to do our best to assist in matching you with puppies that align with what you are looking for (more outgoing, more social, more cuddly, larger, smaller, active, couch potato, etc). We expect to get many more questionnaires than we have puppies! We ask that you please be patient with us while we go through all of the applications and make the best matches. Please understand if you are not selected that we have only so many puppies to go around! Adopters will need to commit to a $905 initial investment to adopt a puppy from POMDR: $305 for the adoption fee, $300 for a refundable spay/neuter deposit, $300 for a refundable training deposit. The spay/neuter deposit will be reimbursed once the dog is altered at the POMDR clinic (at no cost to the adopter) or we receive proof of alter from another clinic. (Adopter must pay for the full alter if done at an outside clinic.) The training deposit will be refunded once we are presented with proof that the puppy is enrolled in a training class or working with a private trainer.
