Meet Chipper Hope, one of the two boys in the Hope litter of eight. He appears to be a Shepherd mix. Like his siblings he's mostly tan with black trim. He has a white patch on his chest and chin, and black encircles his muzzle with a white stripe that goes around the left side of his nose and continues up between his eyes. These puppies have such a sad beginning, but their future holds such bright promise! Their mom, Hope, was rescued by a supporter of one of our southern partners when she was about to have puppies. She had pneumonia and mastitis and the puppies needed to be taken from her when they were three weeks old. Sadly Hope didn't make it. She was just too weak to rally. Her eight puppies are now about 3 months old and oh-so-ready to take on the world!
Being puppies they have much to learn! They are all crate trained, and working diligently on their house training and learning to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs - and especially puppies - attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog, and it also helps to strengthen that ever-important bond between the dog and his human family. It’s lots of fun, too! A well-mannered, obedient dog will be welcomed most anywhere you take him. Though a fenced yard is an ideal place for your puppy to romp and play safely, if that’s not an option then lots of daily leash walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park is the next best thing. A tired dog is a good dog! Dogs of all ages also benefit from mental stimulation – think puzzle toys and games. Puppies are a lot of work and require a strong commitment to teaching them obedience, socializing them with other dogs and people, playing with them and loving them to pieces. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience to bring up a puppy - and it’s totally worth it! The Hope puppies are very smart, sweet dogs who love other dogs and people. They're good with kids and with dog-savvy cats. They're playful and affectionate, eager to please, even-tempered and gentle. They have a friendly shyness about them that just melts your heart.
If you're ready to make the commitment to bring up Chipper Hope, then fill out an application today! Sweet puppy kisses and warm furry snuggles may soon come your way!
