Darling CJ & Frisco each went to their trial foster-to-adopt homes this weekend. They both have a Heeler big sister to show them the ropes at their new homes and with their new families, and we are so pleased for both dogs and their new families. Hopefully we will have updates to report on soon.
In the meantime, having just 4 of Rosie's puppies means more changes here. They will begin eating their meals out of the crates now and begin working on some basic obedience commands (starting with "sit" and getting used to a leash). We will also begin challenging their housebreaking a little more and begin training them on a bell system to let us know when they want to go out.
These darling Heeler-mix pups were brought to the shelter with their mother, Rosie, and four more siblings at the tender age of two weeks old. Luckily, Forgotten Friends rescued these six at 4 weeks old (and helped their mom and litter mates find safety as well!). This is the story of their journey to their Forever Homes!
