Meet Puppy Vienna!
Vienna is an 8 week old chow chow/cattle dog mix (true breed unknown). Vienna is a super sweet and gentle girl. She is one of the calmer puppies of her litter, although she likes to play as well. Vienna has the most adorable wrinkly face and likes to observe her surroundings before jumping into playtime with her brothers and sisters. She is curious and explorative but mostly very snuggly and loving, and gives the best kisses. Her favorite thing is to be snuggled up next to someone or her siblings. She loves sleeping upside-down legs in all directions like a starfish and we love seeing all the other funny positions she can fall asleep in. She is very smart and learned to use pee pee pads when she was only 4 weeks old! Whoever adopts Vienna will be adding a very special girl to their family and we know she would make anyone so happy with her sweet and curious personality.
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.
