Saint Paddy Day Pups - ADOPTED

This is the story of a very special pregnant dog, Ireland, and a good samaritan who found her. Ireland was found a couple of weeks prior to her giving birth. The kind soul kept Ireland safe, warm, and fed until she was ready to give birth to her eight puppies. After the puppies were born, Ireland took great care cleaning and feeding her young. When the pups hit six weeks of age, the good samaritan realized how much work puppies become when they gain independence. So he reached out on community forums for a rescue to help step in, and that’s where we entered the story!

Ireland is a petit (35lbs) young beagle/hound/lab mix, with a wonderfully sweet temperament as a dog, just loving all humans and gets along with all creatures.

Originally eight puppies, one pup was adopted by the good samaritan’s family member, leaving seven FAVOR puppies. These puppies have never seen hardship or trauma, and have been spoiled by their Mama and loved on by all the household humans. They have weaned off breast milk, and are enjoying kibble. As they start to gain more independence, we have really started to see their personalities flourish!

Temperament

These are typical puppies who were lucky enough to be in our loving care from day one. With continued proper socialization and professional training (A MUST), they will be great family members. They are still small, gentle, fun, active puppies. Given their breed guess, these pups are not yard dogs, and those adopting should expect walks, adventures, and activity. More personality details below.

Needs

These puppies will be best suited to an to an active family or couple, willing to give them regular walks, runs, trails, and adventures, and plenty of playtime. They should continue socialization with other dogs through puppy classes or play dates. Adopters should be ready to start PROFESSIONAL training (we can provide recommendations) around five-six months old to continue proper dog socialization, work on nice leash manners, and heel-side walking, and prepare for off-leash fun.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, we will only consider applicants where one adult has a more flexible schedule, as puppies are a lot of work, and will require potty breaks, exercise, training and continued human and dog socialization as they grow up.

Crate/Potty Training

All puppies and dogs rescued by FAVOR are crate trained, sleeping in the crate from 9pm-6am, and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Dogs are also potty trained with doggie door access. There is ALWAYS a transition period where crate cries and potty accidents WILL HAPPEN in a new home, as the dog transitions to new rules and ways to communicate.

As with ANY and ALL dogs, this dog would benefit GREATLY from professional training to continue to work on good leash manners, place command, and off-leash recall. We always recommend keeping young dogs crated when they are alone to keep them putting themselves in danger (chewing on cords, eating things that can get stuck in their stomachs, etc…)

Vetting

All dogs rescued by FAVOR are spayed/neutered and microchipped before adoption, as well as vaccinated for rabies, bortedella, DA2P (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, leptospirosis and parvovirus).

Puppies WILL REQUIRE DA2P 3rd booster shots when age appropriate (between 14-18 weeks of age) at the expense of the adopter. It is also recommended to get the LYME-LEPTO combination vaccine in New England. All dogs and up to date on heart worm medication and flea and tick topical treatment.
*Rabies must be administered after 12 weeks of age. If puppies travel before 12 weeks, then we will refund adopters $15 towards the cost of their rabies shot.
