What is my personality like? Say hello to Prince – a young, male doodle puppy who is looking for his furever! Prince is a very sweet and playful boy. He is a bit shy at first but if you wait patiently and offer treats and gentle affection, he will open right up. Prince is very sweet and playful, and growing by the day! He is working on potty training skills and learning what it’s like to be a pet. Prince would benefit most from an active family who plans to socialize him more, take him for hikes and extra playtime, and include him in any way possible. He is young and easily trainable, but with his young age comes LOTS of energy and a crave for playtime.

Prince loves toys, attention and learning new things and he hopes to be home just in time for the holidays! He is working daily on more developmental skills, and potty training. This sweet, fluffy boy would make the perfect dog for any outgoing family or single adopters!

Fence needed? Yes, Prince requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.

What kind of home would be best for me? Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically. What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! While our ideal home for puppies has another young dog in it, Prince could be adopted to a home where she is the only dog as long as there is a solid plan for regular socialization a minimum of 4 times per week. 

Socialization occurs when dogs are off leash and free to be themselves, unencumbered by human restraints (other than the fence that keeps them safely contained). Socialization times would be for instance, inviting a neighbor or friend over with their dog to play in your fenced yard or going to someone else’s home to play in their fence yard. Socialization time could be doggy daycare. Socialization time could be a group walk if you include a playtime at the end of it. Training classes do not always include socialization time. Some puppy classes do include a period of time at the end where the dogs can romp and play together. This would be perfectly acceptable. Time can also take place inside the home, it does not have to be an outdoor area, as long as the dogs are free to interact with each other without leashes or other restraints.

When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can! 

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn’t keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
