r. If you want to adopt me, don't wait - fill out an application now and you could take me home sooner! ;@ ALWAYS ADOPT Age: 3 Months (as of 5/10/17) Weight: 26 lbs (as of 5/10/17) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Apple Records would like to present... Rigby Apple, one of the seven boys in the Apple Litter of eight! Well okay, maybe not the real Apple Records. These cutie-patooties appear to be a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix about 3 months old. Looking at their weights now it seems as though they may be large dogs when fully grown. Being typical puppies they have much to learn! They'll need continued house training (they are in the process now), and are already crate trained and walk on a leash. They good with kids, cats and other dogs - calm and interested in new places, people and things. We strongly recommend that all our dogs - and especially puppies - attend obedience classes because you get to learn basic commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog, and it also helps to strengthen that ever-important bond between the dog and his human family. It’s lots of fun, too! A well-mannered, obedient dog will be welcomed most anywhere you take him. Though a fenced yard is an ideal place for your puppy to romp and play safely, if that’s not an option then lots of daily leash walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park is the next best thing. A tired dog is a good dog! Dogs of all ages also benefit from mental stimulation – think puzzle toys and games. Puppies are a lot of work and require a strong commitment to teaching them obedience, socializing them with other dogs and people, playing with them and loving them to pieces. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience to bring up a puppy - and it’s totally worth it! Rigby's a handsome dude, with his beautiful black coat, white chest and white on all his toes. He and his siblings were surrendered by their owner - we don't know the circumstances, but we do know each one of them would love to find their forever pal. Could that be you? Fill out an application today for Rigby Apple and make his dream come true!
