Meet Wriggly!
Wriggly is an 11 week shepherd mix spayed female. Wiggly Wriggly is a happy playful and spunky girl with plenty of puppy energy and tons of love to give!
She loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with another dog or a home committed to continued positive socialization and exposure with other friendly dogs.
She is currently in foster in Sacramento. She is fostered in a home with other dogs and doing great with potty training. She will do fine with cats given proper intros and well-matched cats. We would recommend for most puppies under 5 months to be placed in homes with kids over 5 as a general rule of thumb.
Best guess is a shepherd mix and we think she will be around 55 lbs full grown - but that is just a guess!
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!
