About Sylvan

Sylvan is a playful little guy with a solid white coat, accented by faint yellow and gray markings. Once burdened by a bad case of ringworm, he has since healed beautifully. Though small, his personality is larger than life. He loves to climb up to your shoulder for some affectionate ear-licking. Sylvan knows how to sit and is almost house trained. He and his siblings were discovered on a country road, far from any homes. Luckily, a compassionate person found them and brought them to safety until they could get to the rescue. Sylvan's litter consists of 11 puppies, likely mixed breeds including labs, shepherds, and maybe even huskies. They're all sweet, friendly, and eager to become part of loving homes. Now about 12 weeks old, these puppies are ready for adoption. They’re spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccinations, microchipped, and on prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. Sylvan is currently in Arkansas but can be adopted in New England, with transport available to meet potential adopters on a Saturday in MD, PA, NJ, or CT.
