HANDSOME was transferred from a rescue in West Texas to GaDaH with his sister "Devine". Handsome is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, lepto, is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipped and at the time of neuter surgery on 4 June 2020 weighed 11.5 pounds. He has an estimated date of birth of 1 March 2020. We have no way of knowing the exact breed, it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely.

We are looking to adopt HANDSOME and his sister DEVINE together.

Handsome is a great pup, huge personality, very smart, already has pushing on the gate a certain way opens it, very affectionate, fun, loving, active, great with dogs of all ages and sizes, but is still bonded with his sister DEVINE. They have similar pesonalities and are a lot of fun together.

As a puppy we are looking for a family that has the time and patience for all kinds of training, as much as Handsome does go outside using the dog door, or at times use pee pads, he does not know to let anyone know to go outside, so accidents are to be exected and patience and training definitely needed. He has never had a collar and leash on so again patience and training is needed. We expect families to work with him on basic and advanced training and work with him on manners. He is a pup and does jump up and around 5 months he will be teething and so chewing on anything that is available, including furniture, toys and such.

Handsome is most likely going to be a medium/large size dog, so we are looking for an active family to take him on lots of adventures, who understands the need of excercise which is appropriate for her age and growth rate. Physical exercise and mental stimulation are key in having a happy dog.   

We have not seen Handsome around cats, livestock or children, so we expect families to take precautions when introducing her to new things. Her personality does not leave any concern as to her not being friendly with children, as long as they give her space, respect her and not treat her like their toy, she is still a baby!

This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of saving all of the dogs we do, the running, upkeep and maintenance of the rescue.    Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada. All that is needed to take dogs into Canada is a copy of the adoption contract (receipt) and current rabies for pups over 3 months of age.
