Meet Puppy India!
India is an 8 week old chow chow/cattle dog mix. India is a dream dog who would be the best addition to any family. She has a very easygoing and happy personality, she is calm and confident and handles new experiences with ease. She is the perfect adventure buddy for someone who would like a dog who is willing to go anywhere and do anything with them, but is also just as happy to cuddle up on the couch and be in their company. She is super smart and always the fastest in her litter to learn new things. Her super sweet, engaging and calm demeanor has made her an instant favorite with everyone in our family. Her lovely personality is matched by her adorable smiley face and super cute markings: four socks and a little white tip on her tail (which is always wagging). She is the sweetest baby and is full of love for everyone she meets. India is pure magic and her adopters will be so lucky to add her to their family
All puppies have been prepared for success in their future homes:

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!
