Meet Memphis, a 7 week old, 5-7lb bundle of joy who was rescued when still in the womb of his pregnant mom after a good sam noticed she was abandoned on a cabin porch in Tennessee. It broke his heart to leave her there, so the good sam decided to take her on his ride back to San Diego. Lucy, the mother, was scheduled to have a spay with SNAP, but she gave birth to these puppies 3 days before.
Memphis is a very outgoing, friendly, and playful puppy. He will play nicely with his brothers and sisters and other puppies. He's also very fond of people and will actually respond with a tail wag when he is held and given pets. Memphis is such a silly puppy. He will pounce on his toys in a very funny way, then run around while he bats it around. He certainly is very good at entertaining himself!
The mom is a friendly and petite 35-40lb Lab/Shep mix who is also up for adoption. The people in the neighborhood claim that the father might be a 70lb Rottie mix who they say was the only male, unneutered dog wandering around. The pups do have some Rottie characteristics, but they also have prominent GSD markings along with some Lab traits from mom. Given their potential breeds, the pups may grow to be 40-55lbs, so medium sized.
They are all weaned off of mom's milk and are eating dry/wet food on their own. They have had their first set of vaccinations and will be spay/neutered when old enough. Otherwise, they are ready for adoption. All pups have been socialized around adult dogs, children and people. They are in their learning stages of crate, leash, and house-training.
Puppies are a very big commitment, so we are looking for dedicated adopters.
