(Puppy) Aretha

*Ready 4/26* Aretha is the largest of her litter and she is very affectionate and cuddly. She loves chewing sticks and roughhousing in the yard with her siblings. Her favorite form of attention is belly rubs and she'll happily flop over so you can pet her!

Aretha was being given away in a parking lot with her siblings when a WCAL volunteer spotted them. Now these pups are growing up in a foster home and we've arranged to have their mama spayed. We're told they are a husky mix, but we haven't seen either of their parents. Cute, friendly, and attention seeking, these puppies are eating and growing and learning quickly. 

Puppies this age eat three meals a day and cannot be left alone for more than a few hours at a time so it's important to have a plan in place before adopting youngsters like these. They will do best in a home with people who can either work from home or bring a pup to work so that they can continue working on potty training and learning all the social skills they need to succeed.

We ask that all WCAL puppy adopters commit to attending a reward-based training class with their new puppy (we'll help you find a qualified, dog-friendly trainer near you). This is the best way we know how to help you bond with your new pup, give you access to current training techniques and ensure that your new dog becomes a well-rounded member of society. We believe in being proactive and know from experience that the best time to train a dog is NOW! It's important to us that all the dogs we rescue get the very best start. If you don't have time to attend training classes with a puppy and aren't able to spend lots of time with them, please consider choosing an adult dog or waiting to adopt until your schedule is more flexible.

We have no information about either of their parents or their breed mix. Before applying to adopt, please verify that this pup will be welcomed by your landlord and homeowners insurance, regardless of breed.
