About Pinecone

Pinecone is one of a lively litter of puppies born at the shelter on September 8th. This male puppy is part hound mix and likely mixed with retriever, based on his distinctive appearance. Expect him to grow into a large dog. Pinecone will be ready for adoption around mid-November, after he receives his vaccinations, which will be coordinated with his new family through our vet partners. Like all puppies, Pinecone requires a loving and patient home committed to training and socialization. He is progressing well with his littermates and is expected to adapt well to a household with other dogs. Early socialization will also help him learn to get along with cats. However, for the time being, very young children might not be the best fit as puppies are still learning proper manners. He will thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day, as he doesn't do well left alone for long periods. If you think Pinecone could be a good fit for your home, please apply on our website. He could bring a lot of joy to your life!
