* Rosebud found her forever home with her foster family! Yay! *

Honey (and several other dogs) were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services when their owner could no longer look after them. Honey gave birth on June 2nd in the shelter. We were very lucky to find a foster home who would take in this wee family, and over the next two months, Honey and her foster family did a great job of raising the puppies. Now they’re ready to find their forever homes!

Here are personality reports from the foster family:

“Rosebud
Rambunctious Rosebud is the smallest of the bunch, but never a runt! She has a
strong personality and really enjoys being with her sisters, other animals or
people. She does not like to be alone. She loves children, squeaky toys, tug
of war, tag, chewing on sticks or toys, wrestling with her sisters and cuddles.
She plays well with the other animals in the house, but they are smaller than
even she is at this point. She is quite mischievous and rambunctious and will
find ways to gain a human or her sister’s attention by stealing a toy or
starting a game of tag. She loves exploring outside and, like her sisters, she
will need a yard that is fenced.
She can be relaxed when she is with others and she is always ready to try new
things.
She likes listening to music and people talking. Like all pack animals she does
not like to be alone for a long time. Needless to say that she and her sisters
are not lapdogs and will need lots of opportunity to walk, run and play. She
will do well with any adventure that comes her way.”

PLEASE NOTE:
The puppies are not yet old enough to be spayed.
The spay/neuter surgery and microchip are included in the adoption fee. When the puppies are old enough for surgery (normally between 4 and 5 months of age), they must be taken to a Ladybird affiliate vet clinic to have the spay surgery done. Between the adoption day and surgery day, the adopter is responsible for any vaccines or treatment their vet recommends and treatment is done at the adopter’s own clinic. We provide age appropriate vaccines for the animal for the duration of the time that the animal is with us. First set of vaccines are usually done at 8 weeks of age, and are continued for two more sets of vaccines in monthly intervals. If the adopted animal has only had one set of vaccines, it’s the responsibility of the adopter to have the other two sets done before the surgery. Most vets will not perform the surgery if the animal’s vaccines are not up to date.
