Darcy lives a life of pure joy and happiness. If you are looking for a pup who is sweet, cuddly, easy to live with, has a solid energy level and is just all around nice, Mr. Darcy might be your boy. Darcy is a silky soft, cuddly mixed breed lap-loving pup who we think is about 16 weeks old and will be a mid-sized dog as an adult. Breed is seriously best guess and we are guessing Australian Shepherd mix. He was one of 6 pups surrendered to PUP as the family wanted them to get to lead the good life. Darcy is healthy and happy and the vet was impressed with his physical condition and outgoing nature. He is a sturdy well built pup.

Darcy asks to got out to potty by going to the door and whining. He takes care of business as soon as he goes outside. He doing a good job on housebreaking, is holding it overnight when crated and is crated when his family goes to work. He is not perfect on the housebreaking yet. He is thriving in his foster home and is ready to go to his forever home. He is great meeting new dogs and playing with his old friends. He went to a meet and greet at a store and thrived on the excitement and loved meeting the new humans of all ages that he saw. He loves lap time and sometimes will give a kiss.

The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog.

Darcy has been vet checked, wormed and had all core vaccinations including rabies. The $350 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of pup’s required spay/neuter at 6 months of age provided it is done by one of the PUP vets. We do place puppies outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship.
