Meet our new "Sky Team" litter of six:  puppies Phoebe, Chickadee, Robin, Condor, Peregrine and Raven.  These babies are gorgeous and absolutely sweet as can be.  There appear to be several dads in this litter, but the retriever shows through in all of them, including in their very sweet personalities.  Of the blond pups, Peregrine has the long coat, like a golden retriever; Chickadee and Phoebe have shorter coats, but still thicker than a typical lab coat.   Tri-color pup Robin appears to be mixed with aussie.  And, of the black pups, Raven looks very much like a black lab, whereas Condor has a bushy long coat, which makes us think he has flat-coated retriever, or a mix of golden and lab.

While we cannot be sure on breed mix, we are sure that these are lovely puppies.  These pups love to play; and they love to be loved on.  We expect that any of the babies will make a wonderful family dog and companion.

Currently (3/31), the pups are about 3 months old and they range in size from 16-20 lbs.  While we cannot give any guarantees, based on current size, we anticipate they will be medium to large when full grown.

As for specifics on dear Phoebe, she is an exceptionally sweet, "soft" (meaning gentle) puppy.  Upon first arrival, she was a little shy, but that lasted only about one day, and now she runs to her foster mom and dad (and all the visitors at her foster home) to get all the loving she can get.  Phoebe is a darling pup who displays the lovely temperament characteristic of the retriever breeds.  For a happy life, this girl (like her siblings) will need a home where she is given one-on-one attention, included in day-to-day activities, and treated as a member of the family.  It is impossible not to love this puppy!! 


If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to Phoebe for her whole life -- no matter what may lie ahead in yours -- please register on www.safeatlast.net (by clicking Register on the lefthand side of the homepage).  When you receive your password (which will be sent to your email account), log back on to our website with your username and password to access the online adoption application (under Forms/Applications on the lefthand side of our homepage).  

Once we have your completed application, a volunteer will be in touch by email to set up a phone interview to commence the review process.  Our process is very straightforward but does involve a phone interview, reference checks and a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $375, and a refundable $35 spay/neuter deposit (required by NYS law), also apply.

These pups are being fostered in a private home.  SO, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT MEET THEM UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ADOPTION APPLICATION AND BEEN APPROVED TO ADOPT.

If AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR COMPLETE APPLICATION, you have any questions, please email us at info@safeatlast.net.

Thank you for your interest in these gorgeous babies.
