Saffron
Foster Me!

Herb litter, under-age pups (6 wks) were rescued from a distant shelter. They were dumped in the streets. All are very sweet. Hard to tell their breed type yet. Maybe Lab/Collie/Shep mix. Foster home bathed them and they all did well. Eating well. More info. and photos to come on their personalities as they relax and learn at their foster home.  They are ready for their forever adoption homes to start Puppy Socials and classes.  Saffron is playful and loves playing with her foster home's adult dog.  Almost house-trained and know to go out to backyard thru screen door for potty biz.

Update from her Foster Home:  Saffron is a sweet and gentle puppy (possibly a Rhodesian Ridgeback or Shepherd/Lab mix) looking for her  forever home. She loves being with her people and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day or where she has another friendly dog for company.

She's playful, energetic, and smart. She enjoys walks, fetch, toys, and exploring the backyard, but she's also great at entertaining herself. Saffron is eager to learn, responds well to commands, and is almost house-trained. She sleeps through the night and has already shown she can be left alone for a few hours without accidents or destructive behavior.


Saffron is still building confidence with car rides, but she's improving with patience and consistency. She's a loving, loyal puppy who will make a wonderful companion for an active family or individual.

She would be happiest with another dog at home.  

Need foster home by July 18th. Playful, friendly and adorable. Going to Puppy Socials.
