Harley DirtyDozen *LOCAL* needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?
Age: ~ 5 Months (as of 8/1/21)
Weight: 42 lbs (as of 7/30/21)
Location: RI
This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
Have you been waiting for a big squishy boxer mix pup to complete your family!?!
This litter of twelve pups is nine males (Cash, Copper, Jake, Rocky, Harley, Ace, Max, Tucker, Lefty) and three females (Remi, Luna, Zara). These pups were abandoned at an Animal Control facility in Arkansas due to likely being an unplanned litter, and were put into our Southern rescue partner's foster care shortly after. Although we don't know about their parentage or first couple months of life, we do know that they are ready to find their own forever families! They are currently residing in a kennel at a foster home with a retired adult couple. They have not met any other dogs or cats while in foster care, but given they are young with proper confidence building and socialization these pups should be fine in a home with or without a confident doggy sibling. When it comes to meeting new people or children, they are friendly and respectful when interacting with them.
These outgoing and affectionate pups love to play; whether it be with a squeaky or chew toy, but they are also happy to be a lap dog and snuggle up on the couch
. Their preferred play styles are rough wrestling, bitey-mouth, and chase
; and you are likely to hear them bark while playing. They've also got a great foundation to be awesome adventure buddies - they are interested and calm when going new places and in the car!
Being just puppies the DirtyDozen litter has so much to learn! They'll need house training, crate training and will need to learn 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/her human family. Since this litter appears to be eager to please, we think they will pick up these skills quickly with consistency and lots of treats!
Think Harley DirtyDozen (or one of his littermates) will make the perfect addition to your family? Fill out an application today!
