Pip is 8 months old and weighs about 12 pounds. He's a very sweet, submissive, and naturally shy little guy with a quiet temperament and a gentle way about him. Pip and Pauley are littermates, but they do not need to be adopted together. These puppies came from a breeder/hoarding situation with far too many dogs to receive proper care. Despite that start, they are incredibly sweet, peopleoriented, and already soaking up affection and routine in their foster homes. They enjoy being held, are adjusting beautifully to normal home life, and—like many puppies from overcrowded environments—may be cautious at first but warm up quickly with kindness and consistency. We are working on housetraining; they love going outside and running in the yard, something they didn't have the chance to do before. They currently use a pet door in their foster home for potty breaks, which has helped them understand that potty happens outdoors. Even without a pet door, this foundation makes their transition easier, but they will still need patience, supervision, and continued training as they learn your home and routine.
