Gandalf's Story

If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn't always work.<br/><br/>Gandalf<br/>Pembroke, MA<br/><br/> “A wizard is never late, nor is he early -- he arrives precisely when he means to.”<br/><br/>Gandalf is waiting patiently for his perfect home to arrive! He and his littermates have been your typical mouthy and active pups, and won't be content with the quiet life of a hobbit: they are seeking homes that will help them lead adventurous and fulfilled lives. Gandalf has been one of the more sensitive pups in the litter - not timid, but a bit cautious and more likely to sit back and let another pup lead the way in novel situations. He shows some herdy tendencies and good drive for toys, food, and ankles. He's a fun boy and will thrive with someone looking to tap into his potential!<br/><br/> The Fellowship were born on 2/9/26 and have been raised in foster with their momma Shire, a 40lb ACD. She has been a friendly girl and has done a great job caring for her little Shirelings! Embark results show Shire is full ACD, and that the sire was a predominantly great pyrenees, husky, and labrador mix. Though those results threw me for a bit of a loop, the pups all have a similar look to one another so I feel it is unlikely there were multiple sires (but that's always a possibility). They have been raised with Puppy Culture to the best of my ability, and I have been establishing foundational skills here including crate exposure and a verbal marker system for training. Of course, as puppies they will need continued training for all the basics. They have all been doing well with exposure to new objects, textures, environments, sounds, and people. Pups are getting positive exposure to adult dogs, and while Gandalf does not require a home with another dog, any other dogs in the home should be confident and stable to give him a good role model. Gandalf should be fine around cats with proper integration, and will do best in a home without children due to his more sensitive nature.<br/><br/> The pups of the Fellowship have been vet checked, microchipped, are up to date on deworming, and have age-appropriate vaccinations. They are being adopted out on spay/neuter contracts to allow their puppy bodies and minds more time to develop. Please keep your location in mind when applying: the pups must meet their potential families here in person to help ensure a great match!<br/><br/> Check their highlight reel here for more photos and videos (Gandalf has the grey collar): https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE4MDg1OTQ0OTUzMTM5Mzg3<br/><br/> Reach out to sitandstayfosters@gmail.com with any questions, and fill out an application to adopt here: www.acdra.org/adoption-application
