Meet the Texas Seven!
This absolutely adorable litter of puppies is each named after a city or town in Texas. They appear to be a Labrador Retriever mix about 3 months old who were born in foster care to Sunny, their sweet, sweet momma, who's being adopted by her foster family! Now each of these cuties is ready to find his or her own forever home!

 

Handsome Weston Texas is all shiny black. He's generally quiet unless he wants something - then he'll let you know by barking. He LOVES squeaky toys and toys in general, playing fetch, and rough-housing with his siblings and when all that's done, he's definitely up for a cuddle session. He's playful, sweet and loving - and can be a bit of a goof. He was with children in his momma's foster home and was fine with them. He's good with other dogs, but he hasn't been introduced to kitty cats yet. He's crate trained, working diligently on his house training and will need his new people to help him learn to walk on a leash without pulling. He does well riding crated in the car. Though a fenced yard is the ideal place for your puppy to play and romp safely, if that's not an option then lots of daily walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park will keep him happy and healthy. A tired dog is a good dog! Though he doesn't try to escape from the yard, he will try to nip out an open door or puppy gate in the house. We also strongly recommend obedience training for our dogs, and especially puppies, as it helps with socialization, confidence building and building a strong bond between the pup and his human family. And it can be so much fun! Weston already knows "sit" and can't wait to learn more stuff with his new family! He'll also need reminding that jumping up is not polite, to stay off the furniture unless it's allowed, and that garbage raiding is a big no-no! Like all puppies he'll need to be supplied with lots of appropriate chew toys so that your favorite shoes don't fall victim to his sharp little teeth. Dogs of all ages also benefit from mental stimulation - think puzzle toys, busy feeders and games.

 

Puppies take a lot of time, patience, energy and consistency to become the well-mannered canine citizen that everyone loves you to bring with you when you visit. If you're up for the challenge, Weston Texas has lots of big Texas love to share. Fill out an application today and get your heart ready!
