Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) : : Male : : Baby : : Medium
Ginkgo and his four adorable littermates came to Safe Haven after another local animal shelter reached out asking for help with a litter of puppies that came into their care. The puppies owner passed away leaving behind seven puppies and their mother. Another local rescue was able to help with taking the mother and two of the puppies, so we were ready to take on the care of the five remaining young ones. These puppies are around 16 weeks of age (born 1/17/24). Their mother (Sky) is a black lab mix and the father (Torres) is a shepherd/husky mix - both are pictured for reference. We have a feeling these little ones will grow up to be a larger dog in their near future We have a feeling these little ones will grow up to be quite large in their near future! They are not quite released for adoption or visitors yet - but will be ready in about one week once they have been cleared. Their ideal family will be committed to taking a puppy obedience class right away to get started on the right foot - they will need a family that can commit to continue proper socialization and also all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a schedule. Puppies need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning. So an ideal home for these puppies will be one where they won't have long periods of time during the day spent alone, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on! If you are interested in adopting Ginkgo or one of his littermates please fill out an adoption application as the first step of the adoption process. The adoption application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been approved, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to set up a meeting/adoption time.
