Meet Lauf!
Lauf is a 7 week old male mixed breed pup, part of Manhattan’s litter. His mom, Manhattan, is a Shepard/Herding mix (best guess) and we believe dad was a Husky/Northern Breed (mix). These puppies we think will be medium sized dogs (around 50 lbs). The puppies have been lovingly cared for in a foster home with their mom, Manhattan and gotten a great start to life and early socialization.
Lauf is the biggest puppy of the litter. He is a very cuddly puppy, who loves to sit with people and be held. He is very food motivated so we think he is going to love positive reinforcement training. He is the “gentle giant” of the litter who has a calm demeanor (for a puppy!) and a quiet confidence—but a husky howl too. He is very good at being independent and doing his own thing sometimes.
$450 adoption donation includes first shots, dewormed, flea tick treated, microchip w/ free lifetime registry + Spay/Neuter addendum agreement.
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!
