ECHO - 12 weeks, Male, Terrier Mix
Expected to Be About 30lbs Full-Grown.
We cannot guarantee breed mix, exact age, or full-grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses, though!
Please read everything below and submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org if this pup seems like a good fit for your family :)
12 weeks old, pit terrier mix, 7ish lbs. Echo currently eats 3 meals a day (7 AM, 12 PM, 7 PM) and loves to have little treats in between he is a very treat-motivated little boy. He is super cuddly and would lay in your lap all day if you let him. He gets little bursts of energy and he loves to run around in the backyard or play fetch with his toys in the apartment. He also loves his kong filled with kibble to keep him occupied. This sounds silly, but Echo loves jazz. If you put on a jazz playlist, he will fall asleep in about 30 seconds.
He is currently crate training and has begun to prefer going in his crate for naps if you leave the door open he will likely stay in there to finish his nap. He cries for a little bit when you leave but settles down after about 10 minutes. He's spent time in his crate in 2-hour (max) blocks and overnight.
Echo is such a sweet and loving little boy anyone would be so lucky to have him! He will love you as much as you love him!
Home Recommendation
Puppies do best in homes that are ready to commit to their needs. Raising a puppy is lots of fun but we won't beat around the bush: it's also a lot of work. Puppies can be raised in the city or out of the city. They are very adaptable. Puppies need adopters that are full of energy themselves and can keep up with their new four legged best friend.
Level of Dog Ownership Experience Needed
ECHO is an Intermediate level puppy. This means that ideally the adopter has primary dog ownership of a breed or energy level similar to this pup. At a minimum the adopters should have solid experience doing things like dog sitting, or fostering young dogs. This means that if you've only dog sat, fostered or owned a senior dog then this isn't the right fit for you. Adopters should have some hands-on experience with taking care of puppies and/or teenagers. Adopters should be ready for everything that entails raising a puppy: lots of training, patience and socialization. All puppies have the potential to develop into the goodest boys and girls but it's in the hands of the adopter. Lastly, adopters should truly understand that a puppy is going to go through many developmental phases.
Energy Level
Higher - - As an adult this pup will need a solid continuous 90 minute walk (at a minimum) in addition to potty breaks/relief walks/short walks. Many people under-exercise and under socialize small breed dogs which can result in the bratty insecure little dog stereotype. Many small breed dogs can keep up with the best of them. Small dogs most often don't translate to a low energy dog. Small dogs can be much more convenient for city dwellers but they still need to get their steps and mental stimulation in.
Personality
Life of the Party - - Puppies are sweet, fun and little energizer bunnies.
Cuddle Factor
High - - Most puppies love to cuddle with their humans. They are affectionate and love some good cuddles.
Potty Training
Working On This Skill - - This puppy is currently transitioning to going fully outdoors. It is in the middle of its vaccine series which means it's okay to interact with fully vaccinated adult dogs but isn't able to say hi to any old puppy on the street yet (hasn't finished vaccine series). Okay to have a full range of private outdoor areas like yards and courtyards. For puppies that are able to go outside we recommend not using pee pads and instead putting the puppy on a strict schedule of potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours while they are getting the hang of it, adding a pee pad can make the transition to going outdoors harder. Lots of praise and treats are the way to go. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency and of course cleaning up
Crate Training
Will Need to Learn This Skill - - The decision to crate train is left up to the adopter. Many adopters and fosters tend to crate train puppies as a method to keep the puppy safe. Crate training takes patience and time with a puppy. If you aren't crate training then you need to ensure you have a safe set up for your puppy when it's left home alone.
Comfy With Strangers?
Yes - - Puppies are super friendly with new people, they love to make friends. It's super important to socialize puppies in a safe controlled environment.
Social With Children? (ALWAYS requires supervision)
Yes - - Puppies are okay for homes with respectful kids aged 6 and up. Puppies are not a good match for kids younger than 6 years old as puppies go through teething phases: which can be very intense and result in little kids getting hurt.
Social With Dogs?
Yes - - Puppies have all the potential to be extremely social with other dogs. Socializing puppies with other puppies and adult dogs is a huge part of raising a puppy. It should be done in a safe and controlled environment: puppy classes and playdates with trusted dogs are a great way to do this.
Social With Cats?
Yes - - Fun fact all puppies have the potential to be best friends with a cat. It's on the adopter to help set boundaries with the cat (like not being able to chase the cat). The cat should also be a friendly cat as a puppy is not a great idea for a grumpy cat.
Mouthy Play
High - - puppies go through really mouthy phases. The mouthy phase is partly due to teething but also a big part of mouthy behavior is the puppy brain developing into an adult dog brain and having a need to play. Important for adopters to be ready for this can be one of the more challenging parts of puppyhood. Proper training, socialization, stimulation and boundary setting is very important for getting mouthy behavior under control. Puppies around 12 weeks old are starting to enter the harder phase of teething.
Leash Manners
Will Need to Learn This Skill - - This puppy is currently transitioning to going outdoors (in the middle of their vaccine series). Puppy is able to go outside but with restrictions: okay to walk outside in less trafficked areas and okay to say hi to adult dogs but shouldn't be interacting with unknown puppies. Will be super important to work on leash manners from the get go. Many trainers recommend starting to train the command heel (best way to prevent pulling on the leash) from an early age.
Jumping Manners
Will Need to Learn This Skill - - Puppies are prone to jumping up on people when they are excited. It's important to work on this behavior from an early age. It's cute when they are little but not so much when they are full grown. Good habits start early.
Separation Anxiety
Medium - - Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10 ish minutes when they are first left alone or being crated. It's super important to leave your puppy home alone every single day so that they can practice this skill and grow their self confidence.
Medical Status
Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella Vaccine. Adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age. Echo is NOT neutered yet: we will take care of this with the adopter: we take care of booking the appointment and we take care of the cost.
How Did They End Up With Social Tees Animal Rescue?
This pup was originally left anonymously at a high volume shelter in TN where they were at risk of euthanasia. Our rescue partner based down there pulled this dog, had the initial veterinary care done, and transported them to NYC. While in Social Tees care, they are kept in attentive and loving foster homes. Many dogs are rescued from the south because the pet overpopulation problem there is much worse than it is in the northern parts of the country. This seems to be because far fewer people are having their pets spayed/neutered in the south, the climate is warmer so animals are reproducing year round, and the human population in these areas is less dense so there aren't enough people to adopt them. In NYC and the surrounding area, we have a large human population, which in turn means the animals find forever homes at a higher rate up here. :)
PLEASE NOTE: This animal is not at the Social Tees office all of our dogs and cats are in foster homes while they wait to find their forever families. :) If you'd like to apply to adopt this pet, please complete an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org. Because we are a small team and receive hundreds of applications each week, we are unable to respond to every application and every inquiry email, but we do our best. Please have patience! If your application is approved, you will for sure hear from us. If you have questions, please take a look at the Adoption and Fostering FAQs etc. on our website as all common questions are answered there. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work to save these innocent lives!!
