Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org<br/><br/>Thier Foster Parent Says: "Delta is a sweet, smart, social butterfly! This lil hound dog with a BIG heart is taking to city life like a duck to water. She loves all people, is great around other dogs and loves going on walks and playing fetch! She's walking on a leash pretty well (still learning), eager to please with training for treats, she's still working on going potty outside but when she does go inside it's ONLY on pads- and this girl SLEEPS through the night. She's doing great with crate training and doesn't mind being in her safe space with her favorite people nearby. She loves to snuggle and snooze on the couch with you but is also happy to keep to herself with a treat puzzle or engaging toy. The perfect blend of introvert and extrovert, Delta is a great dog!"<br/><br/>Level of dog ownership experience required:<br/>INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it's also tremendous work. Puppies' personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they're a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup's evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult.<br/><br/>Energy level:<br/>MEDIUM – Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they're understimulated.) <br/><br/>TOLERANCE TO CITY<br/>She's taking to the city VERY well. Unfazed.<br/><br/>POTTY TRAINING<br/>This puppy is still learning! Doing great so far but only 1 week into training. <br/><br/>COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERS<br/>In between! Not running up to every single person but interested in a few. Not scared either.<br/><br/>BEHAVIOR WITH CHILDREN (always requires adult supervision)<br/>She's still a small puppy- hard to say! <br/><br/>SOCIAL BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER DOGS<br/>She's great with our 3 year old pit mix! Still learning how to approach other dogs but so far isn't too reactive or scared of them<br/><br/>RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER ANIMALS (cats, small pets, etc.)<br/>wanted to chase a few squirrels, hard to say<br/><br/>MOUTHY BEHAVIOR<br/>Still a puppy must be WATCHED but she handled redirection well <br/><br/>SEPARATION ANXIETY <br/>She cries 5-10 mins but then easily settles and sleeps in her crate. <br/><br/>LEASH MANNERS<br/>She's a puppy, we're working on it! She loves walks so far and does well with a buddy.<br/><br/>CUDDLE BUG LEVEL<br/>Loves to snuggle but also fine on her own<br/><br/>JUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLO<br/>Still training this eager pup! <br/><br/>CRATE TRAINING<br/>Yes this pup out of our (6) puppy fosters is taking to crate training the BEST. She sleeps in it and doesn't mind being left alone in it for short periods. <br/><br/>Medical status:<br/>Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. (For dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.)<br/><br/>How did this dog end up with Social Tees?<br/>Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives. <br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses. <br/><br/>This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.<br/><br/>LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc
