Chapter 7 -- Puppies Looking for Forever Families

I would be remiss if I didn't expound on the wonderful attributes our puppies have.  We have six of them seeking forever homes -- 5 girls and 1 boy -- and they are all solid, amazing puppies.  All of them are crate-trained, we have begun clicker training, we have a good start on housetraining, they have been socialized and exposed and loved and held their entire lives by many, many people including children, and any one of them would make a fabulous addition to a family.  When they were very young, we followed the "super puppy" protocol and did the early neurological stimulation with each of them each day (click here for a great article on this).

Yes, of course they are puppies.  They chew, they have accidents, they sometimes cry and whine when things aren't going the way they think they should.  But they are playful, curious, loving, and very attentive.  They all love it when the clicker and treats come out for one-on-one time and they are all learning quickly.  We regularly take one or two or three of them out on field trips (a couple have already made their first "therapy dog" visit when they went along to see some of the staff at the facility where Daisy and I visit regularly).  We have worked hard to give these adorable puppies the best possible start in life and we hope and pray that they find loving families who will give them great homes and lives.

If you are interested, or know someone who is, please contact me or complete the online application at www.spaohio.org and tell them I sent you!  (We are located in northwest Ohio.)
