This gorgeous little girl is Nance Newark, one of the three females in the Newark litter! She's a beautiful tricolor: mostly black and tan with a small amount of white on her chest and chin. She has five brothers, who are all mostly black and white, to go along with her two 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, Nance 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! She'll need to be taught to do her 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 Nance can run and play safely. Nance is your typical active puppy making your typical puppy noises. Are you ready to give her the kind of forever home she's looking for? If so fill out an application today for Nance and prepare yourself for sweet puppy kisses and lots of sweet puppy cuddles!
Medical Note: Nance was treated for localized demodectic mange. She responded well to treatment and her fur is all regrown in nicely. 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.

**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.
