America - ADOPTED

 

Meet the Puppy

America was found on the 4th of July, we think we she intentionally left on the side of the road. Based on her conditions, we think she was found pretty quickly by the good samaritan. We were contacted once she was found, we brought her right to the vet, and the rest is history. She has been with our loving fosters, getting spoiled with TLCS of tender, love, care, and STRUCTURE!

Temperament

If you noticed that first photo of America doesn’t seem to look like the rest, you would be right. This girl loves a baby pool, mud pit, freshly cut grass. You name it, she’ll roll in it! America is a really nice well rounded pup. She’s playful, goofy, active, but also sweet, affectionate, and lover of all things and all people. She’s be a great dog for anyone, as long as you are ready to provide structure and guidance to make her a great dog!

She’s pretty confident, and occasionally suffers from a bit of FOMO! It is NOT separation anxiety, as she quiets down as soon as she realizes it is not her time to be out of her crate or done with her nap. They key with America is that with her confident personality, she’ll test you and try to work you, but as long as she knows you mean business, she settles in pretty quickly!

Needs

  • America 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.

  • America would love a back yard. Traditional fencing is NOT required.

  • America would love dog siblings or friends. She is super playful and fun, but equally respectful of those grumbling at her.

  • 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 heel-side walking, structured walking, place command, and prepare for off-leash remote collar fun.

  • As an organization, we prefer 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!
