This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
Meet Mr Lincoln, a delightful puppy with a name as charming as his personality. Mr Lincoln and his brothers Abraham Darby, Rambling, Pierre De Ronsard, and David Austin and sisters Gertrude and Olivia Austin are named after varieties of beautiful roses.
These sweet, friendly, and goofy pups embody the spirit of playfulness and gentleness. Their smart and funny antics will keep you entertained and smiling all day long. They eager to share their love and joy with a forever family who appreciates a loyal and playful companion. They are friendly with everyone they meet including kids, dogs, and even cats – in a curious and playful way. They have gone to events in the park as well as yoga classes!
Being just puppies, they will have so much to learn! They'll need house training, crate training and will need to learn to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog.
Adopting Mr Lincoln, or one of his littermates, means bringing home a bundle of happiness that will fill your life with laughter and companionship.
Medical Note: This puppy was born to a mother dog who was positive for heartworm disease and had circulating microfilaria. Microfilariae can be transmitted from mothers to unborn puppies through the placenta; these worms, however, will not develop in the puppy into adult heartworms because the heartworms must pass through a mosquito to fully develop. Microfilariae may live up to two years within the host dog in whom they were born, but they should be eliminated when the puppy received its first dose of heartworm preventative. This puppy has been given heartworm preventative regularly while in SOS care, but to ensure that any remaining microfilaria are fully eliminated and the risk to other dogs (via mosquitos) is minimized, SOS recommends that the puppy be kept on Advantage Multi or Parasedge (imidacloprid + moxidectin) for monthly heartworm preventative for at least the first three months after adoption. This product provides protection from heartworm disease as well as fleas, but another tick preventative (oral) should be used.
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
