Meet Heath!
Heath is a sweet and loving boy. He is super cuddly, and loves to be with his people. He also enjoys the company of other dogs and a dog savvy cat. He is quickly learning some basic manners like sit and “off”. He is also working on potty training which is going well. He is eager to please and is very smart. He loves to play with squeaky or crunchy toys, and loves a good stick from the yard. He currently is in foster with 2 kids under 8, 3 dogs, and 2 cats.
Heath would make a great addition to a family, couple, or an individual ready for a lifetime of companionship.

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!
