Hi there! We're the Tea Puppies! The 6 of us were found dumped in a small crate next to a dumpster with 6 of our other siblings. Yes, there were 12 of us all together in one tiny crate! We were only about 4 weeks old, far too young to be away from our mom. The person who found us gave 6 of our siblings away and then us 6 ended up with VOCAL. It became obvious that whoever had us before cropped either one or both of our ears when we were really little, maybe they were using us to "practice" their home crop jobs on. Anyway, our ears may look a bit silly because of that but we are just as healthy and happy as any other puppy! We're not sure what breed mix we are but some good guesses have been husky, shepherd, cattle dog, or anatolian. We'll probably be about 40-50lbs full grown. We've since been raised in loving foster homes that have helped lay the groundwork for us to become happy, well-adjusted pups despite our rough beginning. Here's what my foster has to say about me, Oolong: This little boy has the sweetest face and the most adorable ears with one ear up, one ear back. He loves some snuggles and cuddles although he is most happy being outdoors exploring, sniffing and investigating every leaf, stick or rock he can find. Adventurous explorer but desires to be loved. May be slightly timid entering a new place but confident he will bond quickly with his new family. He has been wonderful with his older foster "brother" (a 5 year old rescue from VOCAL) although his big barks startle him. He is very excited for visitors and loves the attention of others. Very friendly. Quick learner and nearly mastered potty training.
