History: Garth is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Garth is the sweetest little guy! He is such a smart puppy and is already learning so much. He knows “sit,” has learned “find it,” and is currently working on “leave it” and fetch. He is very treat motivated and absolutely loves his food, which makes training extra fun with him.
He is doing great with potty training. He has had a few misses, which is totally normal for his age, but being on a consistent schedule has really helped him succeed. He is also doing well with crate time — after a few minutes of making noises he sleeps through the night in his kennel from 9:30pm-5am and he will nap in his crate for 1.5 to 2 hours at a time during the day.
Garth plays nicely with his toys and can also entertain himself independently. His favorite things are squeaky toys and, of course, puppy chews. He is not much of a barker. He has been good with kids, though he can be a little jumpy at times. He has not yet been around other dogs in foster, so we are still learning more about that.
Overall, Garth is a lovable, happy puppy who is eager to learn and ready to find a forever family of his own!
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
