Meet Our Birmingham 6 🐾💛 Ellie is our sweet girl. She is a striking black-and-tan/cream with a mask. She is a patient and proper young lady, but she also has fun rumbling and tumbling. She loves belly rubs and is always willing to please. She may be a little bashful upon greeting, but will warm up quickly with love and affection. She is not a fan of loud noises or quick movements. These six sweet puppies didn't exactly get the easy start every dog deserves--but thanks to some kind humans, their story is already turning around. Their mama was found in Birmingham, Alabama, doing her best to survive while pregnant. Life hadn't been kind to her, but she stayed gentle and trusting. She was taken in just in time, where she safely gave birth to her six babies in a warm, caring environment--no more worrying about where her next meal would come from or how she'd protect her pups. From day one, these puppies have been safe, handled, and loved--and it shows. Now they're ready to leave their southern beginnings behind and head to New England to find families of their own 💛 The Basics: 🐶 6 mixed-breed puppies (no DNA testing on breed mix) 🎂 Young puppies (age-appropriate for adoption) ⚖️ Expected to be large-sized puppies based on weight 28 lbs at 13 weeks of age; (Puppies could end up going up to 100 lbs at adulthood) 📍 Born in Birmingham, AL → coming to New England About Mom (because it matters!) - we have a photo - daddy is unknown: 💛 Extremely sweet and gentle despite her past 🐕 Friendly and tolerant 🧬 Puppies are expected to have similar loving temperaments Puppy Personalities (so far): 🐾 Happy, playful, and curious 💛 Social and people-oriented 🐕 Doing well with other dogs 🧠 At the perfect age to learn and bond with their families What They'll Need: 🏡 Committed homes ready for all things puppy (training, structure, patience!) ⏳ Time and consistency for housebreaking and basic manners 🐶 Another dog is a bonus, but not required Medical: /️ Age-appropriate vaccinations /️ Microchipped /️ Health certificate prior to transport /️ Spay/neuter required per adoption contract when age-appropriate These puppies have only ever known kindness--and we intend to keep it that way.

This requirement is for your benefit and your puppy's, so if you experience behavioral issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE--Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?
