~~Puppy Alert! Just in time for Christmas!
Welcome, baby Nick. Nick was born on October 4, and is 9 weeks old! He is light buff and has an undocked tail. He is, of course, adorable and was one of 4 puppies that were rescued together.
Due to our experience with other puppies from this same situation, Nick is looking for a single family home with a fully fenced-in yard (no e-fences). While he is being well-socialized with young children now, we are looking for a home without kids under the age of 12y. 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).
