Description:
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 7 months (as of 4/19/24) Weight: 27 pounds (4/20/24) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Best Affirmation is a HANDSOME and intelligent mixed breed puppy with awesome floppy ears! He and his four littermates (who are also available for adoption) look to be a combination of German Shepherd and Catahoula Leopard Dog. Best is a friendly and sometimes shy puppy. We think he would do best in a household with only a few individuals and older children. He would love a dog sibling to hang with! He can be nervous around young kids. He gets along with other dogs and people; the introductions just need to be made at his pace. He is currently living with other dogs of a variety of size and age and is doing very well. He needs an adopter who is committed to keeping his world small until he starts to settle in. At the beginning an adopter should plan to leave him at home rather than taking him to parties, soccer games, dog parks, etc, and focus on building a bond in calmer environments. Best has been quiet and clean in his crate or kennel for up to eight hours, and he is making good progress with his house and leash training. We strongly recommend that all of our dogs, especially puppies, attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it can build confidence and socialization for the dog. It's also fun! It often takes a lot of time, energy, and patience to bring up a puppy--and it's absolutely worth it. Best is a sweet and happy boy who just wants a loving forever home. Can you make his dream come true? Fill out an application today and let him know that you'd love to have him join your family! Medical Note: Best is a parvo survivor, and he is still gaining weight. His last symptoms were on 12/6/2023, and we are so happy that he is okay now and ready to be adopted! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: www.sosarl.org/aa/ * *Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
