He has a brother named “Lunchbox” and a sister named “Ice Pack.”
They were transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from an area shelter through FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters.)
They’ve been getting their medical and behavior exams. Vaccinations are up to date. They will be spayed or neutered before they go to their new homes.
Each of them will have a registered microchip.
And, if their new homes are in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services, they will have a FREE one-year license.
Remember….they’re puppies! They will act like puppies and do puppy things.
I got a call from a guy who said, “My puppy cries, whines, trips, nips, jumps, pees on the carpet, and doesn’t know her name. WHAT HAVE WE GOTTEN INTO?”
That’s normal for a new puppy. Remember… it’s temporary.
Like human babies, they’re learning everyday…so it’s never too soon to teach them the rules. Start with a routine and stick to it.
Get started on the “right paw.”
* Relax and stick to the basics. A schedule for meals, trips outside, play, and naps.
* Socialization and exposure to noises, surfaces, and other people.
* Teach the kids how to handle the puppy and supervise them.
* Older kids can help with the leash, training, and tricks.
Some “Don’ts.”
* No dragging by the leg, the collar, or a leash.
* No feeding from the table.
* No spanking.
Dogs are part of our lives. We are their whole lives.
