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
ADOPTED ON 03-24-21: There are so many sweet pups out there that are waiting for a loving forever home, and it is hard to imagine that people will choose to BUY an expensive dog when they can easily fall in love with a wonderful rescue dog! There are so many in need, and the leading cause is the lack of spaying and neutering being done. Something so simple would help end the countless homeless litters that are turned in at shelters. Worse yet, dumped on the side of the road. Often, these puppies endure horrible conditions trying to survive and grow up to be a homeless adult that is not fixed, perpetuating the cycle.
TATER AND FERN AT THE VET
Luckily, there are wonderful humans out there, too. They work tirelessly to rescue these pups and find them their forever homes. It is truly a labor of love, but when you look at the sweet faces of puppies like Amber, how could anyone resist?? Amber is a 4 month old Black Lab mix who, along with her sisters, were rescued from the streets in the nick of time before the cold snap hit the southern states in February. She may have a little bit of Shepherd in her, and certainly has that beautiful Rottweiler look, but her coat is the most luxurious, silky fur you’ll ever touch.
When choosing a breed that is right for your family a little research will go a long way. Although we can rarely be 100% accurate about the breeds of our pups, we are able to learn the dominant breed. Amber is mostly Black Labrador. Labs are known as “ family dogs”. The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is America’s most popular dog breed. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go around for a family looking for a medium-to-large dog. Labs are famously friendly. They are companionable housemates who bond with the whole family, and they socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike. But don’t mistake his easy going personality for low energy. The Lab can be an enthusiastic athlete that requires lots of exercise, like swimming and playing fetch to keep physically and mentally fit.
Amber is now being fostered by a wonderful person who can’t speak more highly of her. Foster mom is just gushing about what an amazing puppy Amber is. She is a very quick learner, so her training has been a breeze, and she learns more and more each day. But don’t expect a tough guard dog with Amber! If that’s what you’re looking for, she may not be for you.
Amber is way too friendly and loving. She loves all the people and dogs she meets! Foster mom also mentioned how flexible Amber is. She is very energetic and loves to play, but is also perfectly content laying around, as long as she is near her people. Because she is a puppy, she will be just fine with children. However, we always strongly recommend that children and dogs of any age are always supervised by an adult. She enjoys going for walks, but is quite happy poking around her yard exploring as well. And when it’s time to relax after a long day, she grabs her toys and finds a spot as close to her humans as possible.
Her foster mom says her favorite thing about Amber is that she’s happiest when she’s sitting in someone’s lap. This sweet girl just wants to love and be loved. She will be greatly missed when she finds her forever home. Amber would make a wonderful addition to most types of families, and is waiting patiently for her perfect forever family to bring her home!
