Jeremiah 11-week-old male black Lab mix 22-lbs Not yet neutered
Background: The young female chocolate Lab mix of an elderly woman near Red Bluff gave birth to ten puppies in early June. No idea who or what breed the father of the puppies is -- ideally a Lab given how Labby the pups are. The woman was quite overwhelmed with caring for the puppies and urgently needed to find a rescue to take the puppies. A wonderful good Samaritan stepped in to accept the puppies from the woman and delivered the ten pups to us on 06 Aug. Seven of the ten puppies have found their forever homes. Three, including Jeremiah, remain available.
What Jeremiah Says: "Hey, I'm Jeremiah (formerly Green) and look forward to my new forever home. My brothers Conrad (Cream) and Camron (Blue) have found theirs and I'm happy for them. I'm one of the 10 puppies that came to GGLRR recently. My foster mom now has introduced me to her 5-year-old Lab, 14-year-old Lab, pre-teens/teenagers and adults (all in the backyard & x-pen). This foster place is heaven, but I am told that I cannot stay here forever. My foster mom calls me "Goober" every now and then; I don't know why. I love to play and snuggle. Looking for someone to help me grow into a fantastic family member. PS. Yes, I'm the one in the middle of the trio picture and, yes, I'm the one using the ball as a pillow 😉😂. Please adopt me!"
What Jeremiah's Rescue Rep Says: Dang, he sure looks pretty Labby. Given that the Jeremiah has not completed his cycle of puppy vaccinations, he will need to be quarantined in their adopter's home and backyard until fully vaccinated (early October).
Adopting a young puppy is much like having a newborn baby in the home: very demanding for care and attention, can't be left alone much, cries a lot -- especially at night when you want to sleep. Eat, poop/pee, play, sleep... repeat, repeat, repeat. Puppy-raising is also filled with joy and fun. Young puppies have sharp teeth and tend to go for human toes and arms when available. The adopters will need to be home most (if not all the time), have a home with a backyard, and be fully aware of what puppy care is all about. Not for those who are not ready to full commit to puppy care. Need to have a plan for puppy training and socialization with other puppies. Prior young dog experience is not required but preferable. No other dogs in the home under two years old, please. Cats okay. The employment of a crate and exercise pen (x-pen) will be important too. Young Lab puppies quickly grow up and become big rowdy juveniles that need lots of exercise and structure and patience from their humans.
