Meet our new "Sky Team" litter of six: puppies Robin, Chickadee, Phoebe, 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 Robin, suffice it to say that foster mom is crazy about this pup. Robin is an absolute doll-baby -- so very loving, but also so unassuming... Of all the pups in this litter, Robin could be described as being the most "reserved" -- and, what that means is that Robin loves to be loved as much as all the others, and readily runs over for loving; but she is more gentle and laid back about it. When all the siblings are competing for attention, Robin will just wait her turn. She is a sweetie who has the softest eyes that go right into your heart. And beyond being an asbolute sweetheart, she is gorgeous. Her medium-length coat is silky soft and she has beautiful, distinctive tri-color markings. Her pictures do not do her justice. This is one gorgeous pup, inside and out!
If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to one of these babies for her/his 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.
