Hope's babies were born 11/23/10 and they will be ready for adoption in mid-Janaury when they are 8 weeks old.  Please read our requirements for approval to adopt a young puppy before you apply.  This includes owning your own home with a fenced yard, an adult home during the day and no children under 8.

Update 12/21/10 The ABC puppies are all officially 4 weeks today and should be ready to go to their new homes January . We think they are a combination of Terrier, Dachshund, Beagle and possibly Pug based upon mom and who we think might be dad. Right now they are only 2-3 lbs so they should stay fairly small when they are adults; Possibly 15-25lbs.

All the puppies have been started on puppy food to give mom a break. At 2 weeks all 9 of them weighed more than mommy did! From the start we have been assisting mommy with feeding so the puppies are used to being held. We have moved them into our family room where they are a part of the family every day. They are adjusting well to the household noises and enjoy playing with the Dogs and Cats in the house. Our dogs have started teaching them correct dog behavior and how to play. They love any attention and climb onto your laps as soon as you sit down with them to be cuddled. Their favorite thing seems to be falling asleep on their backs in your lap!

The puppies are getting used to regular baths and having their nails trimmed. We have also started housebreaking with them and they have picked up on going to a "designated" area of their pen for potty time. This should make house training much easier when they go to their new homes.

So far Isaac, Daisy, Faith, and Cookie are the true cuddle bugs and will seek you out when they are out playing to be snuggled in your lap. The More outgoing of the bunch seem to be Gracie, Justin, Alex and Bobbie. They enjoy wandering around the family room to see what new toys they can find to play with.

Hope is a little 15 pound beagle/Jack Russell who came to us pregnant from a rural shelter. We do not know who the Dad is- but she was occasionally in an exercise yard with other smaller dog including a wire haired terrier mix, a jack russell/dachshund mix, and possibly a border collie mix before they realized she wasn't spayed.

Currently we do not know if ABC Puppies will be able to attend the event, Meet & Greet- Petsmart on Sunday, January 9th, 2011.
