Meet Baby Ruth!
We call her our “tiny but mighty!” little lady. She’s the petite pup in the pack, but makes up for it in personality. She can hang with all her rowdy brothers and has the silliest way about her. She’s so playful and loves to run around (tiniest puppy zoomies). She is very in-tune with her people and likes to be where we are, or comes running to us. She leaps into your arms if you’re on the floor or bent over. She has done great meeting other dogs/cats and is perfectly social. She has been in foster with exposure to kids, cats and other dogs.
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!
