This sweet girl,Sugar, is still waiting for her forever home. She is 1 year old and weighs 7 pounds. She is a great little dog who as you can see loves sitting on a lap whenever she can. She gets along with other dogs and would love to have a doggy friend in the house to snuggle and play with. She is still in LA but is ready to travel. Please share for adoption, smalldogrescuene.org

Here’s some unsolicited puppy advice!

🚨 Don’t Flood the PUPPY! 🚨

Temperaments in litters range from bold to shy, and those softer, more reserved puppies?

They need TIME.

What you do during this stage of development can stick with them for the rest of their lives.

At 8 weeks old, puppies have tiny windows where they’re fully rested and alert. The rest of the time? They should be sleeping up to 90% of the day.

Taking them home, introducing a brand-new environment, new humans, new sounds, that alone can be plenty for the first few days.

Slow. It. Down.

I always suggest:
✔ Slowly introducing other household pets
✔ Slow field trips
✔ Short, neutral exposures
✔ Lots of decompression time

Flooding overwhelms their nervous system.

What is flooding?
🚫 A crowd of strangers touching the puppy
🚫 Fast, high-energy intros to resident dogs
🚫 Sending them to doggy daycare or day school too early
🚫 Over-handling and over-stimulation

Flooding can unintentionally teach your puppy that strangers (dogs AND humans) hold massive value, which can create overexcitement, reactivity, resource guarding or insecurity later.

“But what about socialization?!”

Socialization does NOT mean chaos. It means thoughtful exposure.

✨ Find that one older, stable dog you admire, let your puppy observe and model calm behavior.
✨ Wear hats, sunglasses, and “weird” outfits inside your home so they see novelty in a safe environment.
✨ Let them observe new places without people touching or talking to them. (Yes, put that serious face on and advocate for your pup.)
✨ Drop by the vet’s office just to play in the lobby or parking lot, no pressure, no procedures.

Confident dogs aren’t created through overwhelm.
They’re built through clarity, safety, and slow exposure.

Protect their nervous system now, and you’ll thank yourself later. 🐾
