Meet Mel, the spunky and ever-charming Lab Mix puppy! 🐾 At just 10 weeks old and a fluffy 10 lbs (as of January 23rd), this little bundle of joy is projected to be about 60 lbs when fully grown. Can you imagine the playful days ahead? 🌟 Mel is bursting with energy and personality! Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of laughs as Mel discovers the world with those curious puppy eyes—and let me tell you, this journey will be filled with a whole lot of tail wags! Now, let’s talk about what it takes to give Mel the best life possible! 🏃‍♂️ This adorable pup is seeking an intermediate dog owner—someone with the experience to provide structure, daily exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. We're talking about a solid 90 minutes of motion in the morning to start the day right! 🌅 If you are someone who relishes the idea of teaching a puppy all about life, you're in for a treat! Mel is currently working on potty training—think of it as a little adventure! 🐶 While puppies under 12 weeks are just beginning to master their wee pad skills, Mel’s journey towards being fully potty trained will need your patience and consistent guidance. Don’t forget, puppies are learning about their world and sometimes need extra help! Plus, did I mention Mel’s got serious charm when meeting other dogs and could potentially make friends with cats too? Talk about social skills! 🎉 But be mindful, because this little star is only ready for a home with kids aged 8 and up! Kids younger than that might get caught up in Mel’s playful antics, which means supervision is absolutely necessary. Kids will need to learn how to respect Mel’s space and understand puppy playtime! As Mel embraces adoring moments with you, keep in mind that all puppies go through a mouthy phase. It’s a natural part of growing up, exploring, and finding boundaries! 🦷 Training, guidance, and playful distractions will help Mel navigate this phase with ease. And wait, here’s a pro-tip: Mel may experience some separation anxiety while adjusting to new surroundings. So, a little time and effort in showing Mel how to be alone will go a long way. Plus, with a potential future ahead that includes crate training, what could be better than the safer, snuggly space for your new best friend? 💤 Mel comes from a caring rescue that helps pups like him escape challenging situations in places with limited resources. With some love and guidance, Mel is ready to thrive! 💖 So, if you’re ready for this lovable adventure with Mel, apply through the Buddy App today! 🐕 Remember, this amazing little pup is in a loving foster home and can’t wait to find the perfect forever family.
