Temperament

Chip - TRI COLORED

Chip is “chipped” in all the colors of white, black, and golden. He is super playful and active, and would play nonstop if left to his make his own decisions. We call him the busy crocodile, because when he plays he likes to make a chomping sound. He likes loves to cuddle with his fellow foster-dogs or humans on his time. But beware, if there’s something more fun to do, he’ll ditch the cuddles for more playtime every time!

Dale - TAN

There is no doubt about it, Dale is the more laid back and shy of the two, with a side of stubborn. If you want a dog that comes with a side of cat attitude, that’s probably the best way to describe Dale. He’s still active and playful, but just not as outgoing as his brother, and likes his alone time as well. He likes to hang with his foster siblings and play tug-of-war, but equally likes a nice long snooze, solo on his bed. He does loves his leisurely walks around the property with his foster Mom. Please Note: Dale does have a case of puppy rickets. Nothing to be alarmed by! He’s now on large breed dog food for the extra vitamins and nutrients, and it is already self correcting. It is likely due to malnourishment prior to being dumped at the Humane Society, but was caught quickly and has already improved tremendously.

Needs

  • Chip and Dale would like a back yard. Traditional fencing is NOT required.

  • Both Chip and Dale would love dog siblings or friends. They get along great with dogs, and being around other dogs has built up their confidence.

  • Chip and Dale 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 play dates.

  • Adopters should be ready to start PROFESSIONAL training with one of our recommended trainers to continue proper dog socialization, work on nice leash manners using leash pressure and appropriate tools, and heel-side walking, structured walking, place command, and prepare for off-leash remote collar fun.

  • As an organization, we advocate balanced training, and not “purely positive training.” Balanced training strikes a happy balance between a TON of positive rewards, but also rules, structure, and specific tools to set tone and boundaries for our dogs. We are firm believers that the more rules you have for your dog when they are young, the more freedom they earn as they get older. So set down expectations and boundaries for your dog now with a trainer and the right tools, so they can be part of all the family fun! Those with balanced training experience, and experience with slip lead/training collar/prong/remote collar as communication tools are preferred but not required!

Those who don’t believe in rules, routine, and structure for your dog, need not apply.

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 8pm-6am (with a potty break around 11pm), and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Puppies also understand the basic concept of peeing outside, but 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.

We always recommend keeping dogs crated during nap times, bed time, and when they are alone to protect them from danger such as chewing on cords, socks, and other objects. Foreign objects can get stuck in their stomachs which can result in a very expensive surgery. We also encourage using the crate like a bedroom for your dogs as they get older, where they can take naps, take a break from human interaction, and have a time out. More importantly, the crate provides them a safe place to go to when things get overwhelming, like a lot of people, loud noises, extreme weather. Think of the crate as their “den,” and a place for them to unwind. We all need a break sometimes!

Vetting

All dogs rescued by FAVOR are:

  • Spayed/Neutered

  • Microchipped

  • Vaccinated for Rabies, Bortedella (kennel cough), DA2PL (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, leptospirosis and parvovirus)

  • Up-to-Date on Flea/Tick Topical Preventative

  • Up-to-Date on Heartworm Preventative

  • Dewormed

  • *Rabies must be administered after 12 weeks of age. If puppies travel before 12 weeks, Operation Favor will refund adopters $15 towards the cost of their rabies shot.

Adopters immediate responsibility will include:

  • Required: Puppies WILL require DA2PL 3rd booster shots when age appropriate (between 14-18 weeks of age) at the expense of the adopter

  • Optional: LYME-LEPTO combination vaccine at the expense of the adopter
