This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

We are talking over-the-top cute!
This cute little punkin' is Neo Newark, one of the five males in the Newark litter! He's black with a white blaze from his chest all the way up between his eyes ending on the back of his head. He also has a black patch on his chest in the middle of the white blaze and four white feet. He has four brothers, who are also all mostly black and white, to go along with his three sisters! We were told that their mom is a Dalmatian mix and dad is a Border Collie mix, so that makes them a Dalmatian/Border Collie mix mix. And every one of them is just delightful, happy-go-lucky, attentive and affectionate! They went right from where they were born to their southern foster home. As with all puppies, Neo will need an individual or family with the time, patience and energy to train, care for and socialize a puppy. Puppies are a lot of work, but totally worth it! He'll need to be taught to do his business outside, be crate trained and how to walk on a leash. An obedience class is strongly recommended, not only for the bonding aspect of it, but also because it helps with socialization and confidence building. A fenced yard is ideal so that Neo can run and play safely. Neo is your typical active puppy making your typical puppy noises. Are you ready to give him the kind of forever home he's looking for? If so fill out an application today for Neo and prepare yourself for sweet puppy kisses and lots of sweet puppy cuddles!

 

 

Medical Note:  This dog is being treated prophylactically for demodectic mange because its littermates showed clinical symptoms and tested positive for localized demodectic manage.  Examination of this dog showed no visual evidence of demodectic mange.  Demodex can be hereditary, and flare up in puppies under stress (eg, transport, transition to a new home, etc) and persist even if aggressively treated, though most cases of puppy demodectic mange resolve fully by the time the dog is 18 months old if not before if treated properly.  The adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian.  Please see here for more information on demodectic mange:    http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/mange-demodectic-in-dogs/741
