French Toast and her adorable littermates came to Safe Haven after a local family reached out asking for help with their accidental litter of 12 puppies. The mother is a one year old Great Pyrenees, who now has an appointment to be spayed in a few weeks, and the father is a white German Shepherd - so something to consider is that these puppies will mature into a very large dog.
The puppies are 10 weeks old right now (born on 7/10/2024) and the family took them to their first vet visit in August for their initial set of puppy vaccinations and deworming. Safe Haven gave them a booster to that vaccine on 9/25, as well as a kennel cough vaccine, another round of deworming, monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative, and each puppy is now microchipped.
Due to these puppies being a large breed puppy they will be adopted out on a spay/neuter contract which means their adoptive families will sign a contract stating the puppies will be spayed/neutered when they are a bit older and will be required to bring the puppy back to Safe Haven for us to spay/neuter when the puppy is between 6 to 9 months old, at no additional cost. The other option for each adoptive family would be to have the surgery done with their veterinarian at the family's own cost, and provide us proof of that surgery once complete.
The ideal adoptive 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 during the first few months, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on!
If you are interested in adopting French Toast or one of her littermates please fill out an adoption application as the first step of the adoption process. The adoption application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been approved, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to set up the adoption.
