Meet Puppy Amber!
Amber is an 8 week old chow chow/cattle dog mix (true breed unknown). Amber’s a sweet and sensitive girl who would be perfect for someone who is looking for a calmer puppy. Although she takes her time getting comfortable in a situation before diving into playtime, once she does she is as confident and curious as all her siblings. Amber loves being cuddled and spending time with people and seems like she would bond incredibly closely with her person, just like her mama. She is super smart and learned to use pee pee pads at 4 weeks old, and is incredibly clean, never getting as messy as her siblings. She has velvety golden fur with darker brown legs and ears and is her mama’s mini me. We adore Amber and know she would make her future family so happy and love them so deeply, whoever adopts her will be so lucky!
All puppies have been prepared for success in their future homes:
Using pee pee pads with almost no accidents since 4 weeks
Have been doing ENS since 5 days old
Desensitized to sounds such as: vacuum cleaner, lawn mower, dishes being put away, voices on radio and tv, thunderstorms and fireworks (these two only on tv with low volume)
Seen/been in the same room as cats, other dogs, toddlers, men and women.
Nails clipped, ears pretend cleaned and had their first bath time.
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!
$400 adoption donation includes first shots, dewormed, flea tick treated, microchip w/ free lifetime registry + Spay/Neuter addendum agreement.
