Introducing Wilt Chamberlain from the "Hoops" litter! This team is made up of 6 handsome males. They look to be a mix of Hound and Great Dane, all are not a bit shy and love to play and cuddle. They have typical puppy energy, they play hard for a bit then they want to rest. They really like "puppy nappy" time! With stubby legs, these little all-stars love to run in the yard and play with each other. They are starting to learn how fun fetch can be, they will chase after the ball when it's thrown but they haven't figured out that they need to bring it back. But that's okay, they have plenty of time to learn once they have a fur-ever home, and they would love to have a home with a fenced-in yard so they can continue to get fresh air while burning off some energy. They are all working on walking on a leash but they still will need more training, and they will also need to be house trained and crate trained.  As with all puppies we recommend obedience training, as it not only helps with training and manners but it also helps form a lasting bond. They ride well in the car and are quick to learn. They get along with cats and do great with kids of all ages.
 
Sadly, Wilt and his teammates did not come from a loving home. Their owner was going to shoot them but thankfully the maid saved them and brought them to the rescue. If you are ready to make a life-long commitment to this sweet boy, then fill out an application...Wilt is going to make a "Slam-Dunk" right into your heart!

**Additional info you should know -  For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix.  We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label.   Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption.  There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
