Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed. Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first
SPUD IS BEING FOSTERED IN TERRYVILLE, CT
Quite often we are met with the task of re-homing pups because of situations beyond anyone’s control. Though it is a heart-breaking ordeal, no one feels the trauma more than the dog because they just don’t understand why it is happening. We do our best to find a new forever home for these special pups, so they may never have to go through that twice. This is the case with Spud, a beautiful Hybrid Retriever, who will begin yet another journey to find a new family who will be the best and, hopefully, the last.
VIDEO SPUD LOVES ATTENTION
https://youtu.be/xXdROsvfwIw
Spud was dropped off at the end of a road as a very young puppy. Lucky for him, there was a wonderful elderly couple close by that took him in and cared for him. Very quickly though, as Spud grew, it became painfully obvious that he was a danger to the elderly gentleman. This kind man was very feeble and Spud was a rambunctious puppy. Fearing he would be knocked over and have a serious fall, the couple reached out to our southern rescue partners to help them find Spud a new home. They were heartbroken, but they knew it was necessary.
Spud is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to be active all day long. When he is happy his tail wags his whole body! He is great with children and would be up for the challenge of keeping up with them! He is a big boy, about 40 lbs. so far, and will get bigger, so a family with an active lifestyle of hiking, beach-going, and all-around fun would be perfect for this guy.
When determining what breed is right for your family, it is wise to do some research so that everyone involved, including your new pup, is happy with the decision. A Hybrid Retriever is an affectionate and impressively smart dog. Well-suited for life with children and other dogs, he loves learning and performing new tasks, and are a real pleasure to train, even for the less experienced owner. They respond best to positive reinforcement, and to calm and consistent training. They are agile and energetic, eager to please their owner, and are known for their impressive memories.
Spud got lucky once, and is now homeless once again. He is in good hands right now, but would love a real forever home to call his own. This sweet boy has had enough disappointment in his short life and deserves the very best family. If you think Spud would be a good fit for your family he promises a lifetime of fun, love, and adventure!
