Welcome, Puppies!

This completely heart-melting litter of purebred Australian Shepherd puppies was turned over to Rescue so that we could assure their safe placement in appropriate Forever Homes-- and we couldn't be more excited about it!!! They are completely adorable... and smart and funny and curious. It is truly a joy to host them here!

Since they arrived last weekend we have been busy catching them up on health and wellness treatments (vaccinations, worming, flea & tick preventative, bathing & grooming, etc.) in addition to beginning their socialization work. The pups are here with other dogs and puppies, cats, a 6 year old boy, and my husband and I. It is a busy household and they are right in the thick of things, taking it all in. They have been working on their crate training and housebreaking this past week and they will begin on their basic obedience work next week.

The puppies love to play with each other and with toys and the other dogs. They are very curious about the baby pool and they enjoy playing a bit in their water dishes as well. Be sure to check out their photo and video links for many more photos!!!



They will make their Meet & Greet debut on Saturday, but we are taking applications for their adoption beginning today. The puppies will be ready to go to Foster-to-Adopt homes beginning this weekend. Their new families will serve as their foster families until they are spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated. in a few months. We will finalize their adoptions after that, and that is when the adoption fees are due. However we will require a deposit check.
