Davy

*PUPPY ALERT* Welcome Davy from the British Virgin Islands!   Davy is currently around 10 weeks old and 5 pounds. We don’t know the breed of his Mom so we aren’t sure of breed or size; however, we think a hound/lab mix and between 35-45 pounds. We do know he is, of course, adorable!   He is fostered with other pups and a kitty too.  He isn’t house trained and will need an adopter committed to working with him on training.

Before applying for a puppy, please carefully consider the following issues.  Will someone be home every 3-4 hours to let the puppy outside?  Our general rule of thumb is that if a dog needs to be crated more than 6 hours/day total, then that dog is the wrong one for the person's lifestyle.  Please consider Puppy Kindergarten classes - it is never too early to start training.  More dogs under the age of 3 years are euthanized for behavior issues than for illnesses.  Puppies (and dogs) are expensive.  It can cost over $1,500 a year to care for a dog (vet check-ups, shots, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea tick preventatives, food, and other supplies).  Lastly, please consider your holiday travel plans before applying for a puppy.  We do not adopt puppies more than 1-2 hours outside of the Washington DC area (we will adopt to Richmond and Baltimore).
