Hi there! We are The Bread Litter and folks who found us think we are Chi/Terrier mixes (who knows?) but will definitely be on the smaller side as adults. Our best guess is somewhere between 20-30 lbs.
We are a litter of 9 and will only be adopted out separately. Rocket Dog does not adopt siblings from the same litter.
We are being fostered with other dogs and kids and are a very happy bunch! That being said, we had a very tough start. We were saved from a hoarding situation and placed swiftly into appropriate foster homes. A few days later, we all got sick and have been on the road to recovery. We are still a bit immuno compromised so a family that understands how to care for puppies that need a bit extra care would be ideal. We have not yet had all of our vaccines and so will not be able to go outside into the public and play. We can ONLY be in private yards as we are still susceptible to Parvo and other deadly diseases.
We would love a home that’s committed to being with us most of the time, especially when we’re so young. We have so much learning and bonding to do! We do super-well with human toddlers, kids and other dogs. I’d love a doggie buddy at home to play with and learn from.
Before you submit your application for one of our cute, button faces 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 one of us? Are you committed to cleaning, training and socializing us for the rest of our lives? If you are ready for puppyhood (being home every 2-3 hours), we would love to meet you. Please fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you. (BS)
