Green Eyed "Baby" girl. 8 Weeks old and already Rock 'in San Marcos, TX. Though she doe not know it, she is special - because of her rare green eyes? or maybe how she quickly learns taught commands or using her own internal instincts of self-defense to avoid the incoming target-zooming foster dog mom, could be the fact that she goes into kennel on her own or when telling her to "kennel-up" (with good girl treat reward) and sleeping all through the night with no p**p accidents.
Nope - you know why she is special? She is smart & resilient! Being found at 2 weeks old, barely walking yet - she came to us with a different, older litter of 5 puppies who accepted her into their pack but were older, bigger, had no manners and were wild. But....she outsmarted each one. Once weened off off bottle, she would fight her way to the food by slipping her little body under them to reach the trough of food. She would climb to the top of kennel, using their bodies so she could be on top to see and be the first one out for play or feeding time.
Once the 5 older pups went off to rescue, she learned to be the only child where she bonded with her foster dog mom. Learning to play correctly, catching on to all the clues a mother would teach her young. We started teaching her commands such as sit, wait, leave it and give paw at 7 weeks old. She has mastered sit and give paw. As her attention span is short now, as she gets older, she'll pick up more commands easily.
Fully vetted and spayed. Baby (sir name "Peppermint Latte") is ready to be adopted from the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter in Texas. Breed? Size? We do not know but a good guess because of green eyes would be partly Border Collie, Australian Sheperd, Lab, even Chihuahua. Probably a mixture of several dogs. She weighs about 6 - 7 lbs now, may be 50-60ish pounds grown.
Potential Adopter will be required to fill out an application with the Shelter to be approved. Reminder: Baby is only 8 weeks old, is in the teething stage and not totally potty trained to go outside. She will require adopter to continue to take her out every few hours for potty breaks, play, love and cuddles. She does sleep in her kennel and will hang out there, mostly silent while awake if she has a safe chew toy or Yak treat.
To meet Baby, please contact me to arrange a meet and greet at my house in San Marcos.
