Meet Puppy Mary Ann!
11 week old female Husky/Shepherd mix. Mary Ann is a happy, wiggly puppy who will be ready for her forever home soon! Currently being fostered in Auburn with other dogs and cats. Heres what Mary Ann's foster has to say:
"She is a total love bug and snuggles in when you pick her up. She loves belly rubs and flops over on her back when you start petting her. She has really expressive ears that do a cute fold when she’s happy to see you. She loves playing in the yard with the other puppies, and sometimes she’s happy to just chew a toy and watch the other dogs romp around. She’s not super interested in the cats, just looks at them and walks by most of the time. She loves the kiddos and will smother them in kisses if they’re down on the ground."
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
