Meet Puppy Ruby!
These two “little gems” are quite the pair -- but looking for individual homes! Ruby and Sapphire (sisters) were rescued and brought to the Stockton Animal Shelter. The girls are a Shepherd mix (your guess is as good as mine) and will likely be medium sized adults. Approximately 3 months old.
-Both girls are super smart and have already started to catch on to the words “pee pee,” “come,” “off” and “sit.”
-They are doing great on potty training and crate training
-They love belly rubs and laps! The girls are both extremely affectionate.
Ruby (lighter face) is silly and wants to please. She always by your side when you call her, she loves to model her sweet face. Sapphire (darker face) is smaller but has a big personality!
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!
