Small (10 – 25 lbs) Learn MoreHello! My name is Strelka and I would love to meet you! I am 10 weeks old and am a Dachshund/Terrier/Spaniel mix (from my mom’s side- no clue who dad was.) Rocket Dog thinks I’ll be about 10 pounds when I’m all grown up. You can see a photo of my Mom below; she weighs about 12 pounds and lucky her, she was adopted!
I would love a home who’s committed to being with me most of the time, especially when I’m so young. I have so much learning and bonding to do! I do super-well with human toddlers, kids and other dogs. I’d love a doggie buddy at home to play with and learn from, or at least opportunities to hang out with other dogs.
Before you submit your application for me, will you please take a moment to read and think about the following: Training your puppy: When it comes to any puppy, think about what the dog is being encouraged to do now and ask yourself if this will be wanted behavior when the puppy is bigger and stronger. So while it may be adorable when a tiny puppy jumps up on people for attention, climbs up onto the couch and gnaws on people’s hands, that behavior isn’t so cute when the puppy is adult size, with adult teeth. Plan to take basic training classes with your new dog. A class builds the skills for the dog and creates lasting bonds with his or her new family. Socializing: Have puppies meet as many nice people and other animals as possible to learn and keep great social skills. Protect them from bad experiences. Fear causes many dogs to become defensive, and defensive behavior is seen as aggression.
Are you ready for a full time job with me? Are you committed to cleaning, training and socializing for the rest of my life? If you are ready for puppyhood (being home every 2-3 hours), I would love to meet you. Please fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you. (BS)
