Redwood (male) is 1 of 9 puppies born at the shelter on September 8th to mother dog Lenore, who appears to be a hound mix. We do not know the father's identity, but we're wondering if the puppies could be mixed with lab or golden retriever, just going by the appearances of some of them. We do expect these puppies to be fairly large dogs at maturity. Redwood will be ready for a new home around the middle of November, after he has had his 2nd of 3 distemper/parvo vaccinations. His basic vet work will be scheduled with his adopter and must be done WITH one of our vet partners. This includes his 3rd distemper/parvo vaccination, and, when he is old enough, his rabies shot and neuter surgery. All of this is covered by us under the adoption fee of $150.
Puppies require a whole lot of time, patience, and training. They are looking for secure, committed homes, ready to keep them for the entirety of their lives. It's not always an easy journey. Redwood and his siblings should do well with other dogs, and they are all young enough to learn to interact appropriately with cats. Very young children might not be suitable as the pups develop manners and learn not to nip and chew. They need homes in which they won't be alone for long hours.
NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.
We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.
We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
