Why am I with a rescue group? Shelton and Lambert were released by their owner to the Greenville shelter, after they could no longer care for them. Per owner, they are bichon/min pin mixes, however, they look more like cute chihuahuas :)! Shelton and Lambert are happy go luck little boys that are ready to adventure with you! They have had 2 boosters, and will need 2 more after being adopted. These boys are too small to be neutered, so will be going home on neuter contracts. We require them to be neutered before 8 months of age.
Thank you for considering adding a puppy to your family.  Puppies can be a joyous experience but they can also be a tremendous amount of work.  You need to be prepared for that work.  Because our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious where we put puppies. 
Our ideal puppy adopters are:
*experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets
*be scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day
*and for those gone 4 hours per day have another canine companion in the home
*be stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc)
If you fit this critera, please apply for this puppy. If you do not fit this criteria, we strongly encourage you to look at our adoptable adult dogs. 
The number one misconception that we hear routinely from new dog owners is that they want a puppy because they do not think they can handle correcting past bad behaviors or resolving baggage.  Not every adoptable rescue dog carries such baggage.  Many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who have lost their families through no fault of their own. 
The second misconception we hear is that adult dogs can not bond with a new family. This again is not a true statement. Adult dogs are ready and eager to give you their love.  In return, you get a family pet that is a known quantity, known size and shape and color and ready to start on the new adventure, their life with you.
Lastly, training a puppy correctly is a tremendous commitment of time and energy.   This is why we ask the puppy seeker have more time at home than the average working family.  Puppies are gregarious and social creatures who crave attention and positive direction.  You need the extra time to do it right.
Please note - we do not ship dogs.  If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip.
