Description:
Linus and his 4 littermates came to Safe Haven after an animal shelter in Cedar Rapids reached out to us and asked for help. That shelter had taken in the puppies when their owners moved out and left the dogs behind. Since the litter arrived before Halloween, they were all given names from "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". The parents were a German Shepherd and a Pit Bull Terrier mix.
The puppies are vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, spayed/neutered and on track for a long healthy life with their forever families. Their ideal family will be committed to taking a puppy obedience class right away to get started on the right foot - they will need a family that can commit to continue proper socialization and also all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a schedule. Puppies need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning. So an ideal home for these puppies will be one where they won't have long periods of time during the day spent alone, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on!
