Believe it or not, precious, almost six month old Reggie was found tied up to a post and unwanted in a rural field when he was just barely 4 months old. Scared and unsure, this baby boy instantly blossomed in the warm and caring arms of his loving foster mom. She writes: “Boy, are we having such fun here! Reggie is going great; he’s your very typical, active Lab puppy and is so happy and relaxed now that he’s in our care. He loves all the kids and dogs here and gets along great playing and running around. Oh, and he loves the snow!”
Reggie is off to a great start with his foster mom who is also a professional dog trainer. He’s housetrained and crate trained and has “sit” and “off” about figured out. He adores toys and following people everywhere!
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 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 Reggie, 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.
Reggie will only be placed in a home 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.
