Litter and program updates
Catherine C.
Litter update on 03 Feb. •Today was picture day! A litter under two weeks and these cuties are going to there forever homes.
Ripp and Stella's litter
Catherine C.
Litter update on 24 Jan. •…At 33 days old (roughly 4.5 weeks), puppies are transitioning from wobbly infants to active, curious explorers. They are weaning onto solid food (often moistened mush), developing unique personalities, playing with littermates, and gaining confidence. They are teething, walking steadily, and starting to understand basic social cues.

Litter update on 15 Jan. •…Pur Puppies are 3 weeks old. A little update. The puppies experience rapid growth: their eyes and ears fully open, they start taking wobbly first steps, their personalities emerge, and they begin socializing, playing with littermates, and even showing early signs of teething as they start the weaning process and explore new sights, sounds, and touch, marking the transition to more active exploration.

Litter update on 27 May 2025 •…These puppies are growing quick!! At five weeks, puppies are entering their socialization window, a critical period for developing into confident, well-adjusted dogs. This is a time we introduce puppies to more of a variety of people, sounds, sights, and experiences, ensuring positive interactions and building familiarity with the world.

Litter update on 20 May 2025 •…At 4 weeks old, puppies are no longer considered neonates, have developed senses, are able to walk, and begin to engage in play and exploration. They also start learning how to be a dog, including how to interact with their littermates, mother, and humans. This is also the time when weaning begins and puppies start transitioning to solid food.

Catherine was responsive and so kind while we went through our adoption process. Chloe (now Salsa!) is the perfect sweet and spicy addition to our family.
