Roarey

Meet Roarey! Roarey is an 11 week old Shepherd/Aussie mix puppy who is currently around 10lbs! She’s ready to find her forever family for the holiday season & word on the street is that Santa put her on the nice list. She’s a typical sweet puppy who is good with all at this stage- dogs, cats and kids. She loves to play, snuggle, zoom and then crash in a big puppy nap pile! Roarey is crate trained and doing great with house training. She is a fun medium energy and will thrive in a home that wants to make her a member of the family. Because she’s just a baby, Roarey will need a family dedicated to the time and structure that a puppy requires! She will become the very best girl as an adult with training and socialization!

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
