OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR PUPPY ADOPTION:
1) PUPPIES WILL ONLY BE PLACED IN HOMES WITH YOUTHFUL, PLAYFUL, DOGS. This helps integrate the dog into your household easier by giving the pup a mentor.
2) In addition to the youthful playful dog, someone MUST also be home at least part of the day. Please do not apply for a puppy if you are gone 8-10 hours a day. It is not a good situation for you or the puppy.
3) You must have plans in place to socialize your puppy properly.
4) Our puppies are not livestock dogs. They must be family pets that are allowed inside the home.
Please watch this short video which demonstrates how puppies learn polite behavior from their adult dog mentors. https://youtu.be/3aoG4Ia_9P0
Meet Raider! In these two brief videos, you can see him learning about proper playing manners from his furry foster siblings. https://youtu.be/ue6qkX4r-tQ https://youtu.be/PD0VGEedbVg
This sweet, silly, cuddly puppy was born around October 2019. He is on the smaller side, and will likely weigh around 55 pounds when fully grown.
Raider is such a good boy! He is pretty much the perfect puppy. He has been absolutely no trouble at all in his foster home. He is not overly rambunctious, although he does have moments outside where he gets the zoomies! When he’s feeling playful, he entertains himself his toys.
He loves soft stuffed toys, antlers, balls, sticks, rubber toys, and squeaky things - pretty much anything! He mostly likes playing tug with people and getting belly rubs/loves.
Raider is a snuggler! He loves cuddling with his humans, adults and children alike. While quite submissive and sometimes timid, he loves cuddling with his people. When snuggle time is over for the night, you can put him on the floor, and he’ll sleep on his dog bed until morning.
Mr. Snuggle Bunny loves finding your socks or pajamas on the floor, so he can grab them and drag them to the family room, or drag them onto his bed and sleep with them. He never chews them up, just snuggles with the pieces of clothing. Very cute. If you catch him dragging something away, he runs away with it faster like it’s a game! Every once in a while, you will find your undamaged socks, underwear, or t-shirts on the back lawn!
He enjoys spending time outside in the backyard, playing with toys or playing in the big holes his big furry foster brothers dig! He doesn’t like going outside when it rains, and he doesn’t particularly love the cold like his Pyr brothers do. He would rather curl up inside on his cozy dog bed.
Raider needs another, preferably older, dog to play with and continue to teach him how to be a well-behaved big dog. He is quite submissive as a puppy; he is respectful of elder dogs and plays great with his big foster brothers.
Raider listens to people intently, and wants to please them. He is house trained, dog-door trained, and is learning how to walk on leash. He rides nicely in a car, and he is not much of a barker.
He is nice to house bunnies, so we think he would be equally nice to house cats.
SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Potential adopters are asked to make travel arrangements if they live elsewhere. All SPIN dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. Please go to our website www.SpinRescue.org and fill out an application for this great Great Pyrenees!
