Meet Puppy Jill!
Jill is a 3 month old, mixed breed pup. This spunky, snuggly girl came to us from Stockton with her brother, Jack. Jill is a curious, confident little puppy who adores humans and discovering the world. She enjoys playing with her brother and foster siblings. Jill loves affection from humans, and follows her foster mom around. Her brother Jack is more curious about what the big dogs are up to. Jill is already quite an athlete and incredibly intelligent. Her foster mom thinks she would enjoy agility courses in the future. Jack and Jill are both eager to please and love learning new tricks. They mastered "sit" on their first day out of the shelter and understand "down" with hand movements to guide them. Jack and Jill have been sleeping in a crate at night and are working on potty training.
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
