Honey's Rosey
Baby | Female | Adopted
PUPPY ALERT!!! OBG's "honorary cocker" Honey became a mommy on March 16th and has 2 beautiful pups! Honey is an adorable 14# mutt (your guess as to what kind of mutt is as good as ours) who went into labor and gave birth the morning she was supposed to catch a ride north to OBG. Needless to say, her trip was delayed. The puppies will be available for adoption on May 11.
Honey's Bee #3 is the sweetest little girl - she LOVES her big brother and super curious. While she is a bit shy and timid, she makes little squeaking noises and loves to curl up in your lap and sleep...like a baby! She is just learning how to walk and sniff around the world! She's about 1.4 lbs of pure adorableness!
Before applying for a puppy, please carefully consider the following issues. Will someone be home every 3-4 hours to let the puppy outside? Our general rule of thumb is that if a dog needs to be crated more than 6 hours/day total, then that dog is the wrong one for the person's lifestyle. Please consider Puppy Kindergarten classes - it is never too early to start training. More dogs under the age of 3 years are euthanized for behavior issues than for illnesses. Puppies (and dogs) are expensive. It can cost over $1,500 a year to care for a dog (vet check-ups, shots, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea tick preventatives, food, and other supplies). Lastly, please consider your summer travel plans before applying for a puppy. We do not adopt puppies more than 1-2 hours outside of the Washington DC area (we will adopt to Richmond and Baltimore).
