AJAX PETROPOLUS - adopted Mixed Breed Redmond, WA

NAME: Ajax Petropolus
LITTER: He is part of the "Wednesday Addams" litter and his mother is "Larrisa Weems"
AGE/GENDER: Baby (born 11/17/2022), male
BREED: Terrier mix with who knows what else!
TEMPERAMENT: Playful and social
ESTIMATED ADULT WEIGHT: 50 lbs

HOUSE TRAINING:
Ajax is on a consistent schedule while he masters house training.
He is a baby so he'll need a consistent schedule with multiple opportunities daily to go outside while he works on it. Puppies should not be considered reliable in regard to housetraining until 6-12 months of age. They're a lot like toddlers, who require diapers!

CRATE TRAINING: Good, he's young and trainable!
OTHER DOGS: Good! He will need continued socialization, like all puppies!
CATS: Good! Continued socialization will be important!
CHILDREN: Dog-respectful children, 8 and older
ADOPTION DONATION: $600.00
HEALTH: Ajax is healthy! Prior to adoption, puppies will be altered, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. Puppies are given vaccination boosters in our care; however, adoptive families will be responsible for the remaining vaccinations that puppies need. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs.

HISTORY: Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find him a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do!

NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME:
Ajax is an adorable, five month old puppy. He is very trainable, social, and adaptable to his environment. He is a curious puppy and loves to observe and explore his surroundings, both indoor and out. Ajax is very responsive to basic commands, a quick learner, and eager to please. He is playful and loves his walks (he has great leash walking skills!) so would love an active adopter. He is currently learning to retrieve a ball. Ajax would love to cuddle and get belly and face rubs from his forever family.

His forever family should be committed to lots of training - obedience, housetraining, and socialization. This will ensure that he grows into a confident, well behaved adult! Puppies' personalities are dependent on their environment, and the structure and training they are given, in addition to socialization. Their personalities continue to grow and be shaped by their new adoptive families. Puppy daycare and socialization classes or puppy kindergarten are highly recommended for their personal development. She will more than reward you for all your hard work with lots of love, loyalty, and laughs.

All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs.

Welcome to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization that is run by volunteers. Motley Zoo does not have a brick and mortar shelter location. Instead, all our rescue animals are cared for in private foster homes where the animals receive one-on-one care and attention in a home environment until permanent placement is found. Please email adopt@motleyzoo.org and request an adoption application and we will work toward approving you as an adopter with our rescue so that we can set a time for you to meet!

Thank you for considering adopting a dog in need!

Woof,

The Motley Zoo Crew
