Pink 14-week-old female Lab Mix puppy 19 lbs
Background: Pink is from Molly's litter (if you have been following her litter on our YouTube channel). Eight puppies from the litter of nine have been adopted. We've saved the rock star Pink for last!
What Pink's Foster Says: Pink is making great progress with potty training and quickly learning new commands. She’s a highly intelligent Lab puppy who now knows “sit” and “come,” and we’re actively working on “stay.” Her eagerness to learn, combined with her love for treats, makes training a fun and rewarding experience for both puppy and human. Pink thrives on affection and enjoys being around people, often seeking out snuggles and playtime. However, she’s also happy to entertain herself with toys, whether supervised in the backyard or relaxing in her x-pen inside the house.
At night, Pink sleeps comfortably in her crate or x-pen, settling well into her routine. Her combination of intelligence, playfulness, and affection makes her a joy to be around, and she’s proving to be a wonderful companion in every way. With her loving nature and eager-to-please personality, Pink will make a fantastic addition to any home, bringing endless happiness to the lucky family that welcomes her.
What Pink's Rescue Rep Says: Pink is an absolute darling. A very special dog per the Medical comments below. Pink is the smallest (and the smartest) dog in Molly's litter. Adopting a young puppy is much like having a newborn baby in the home: very demanding for care and attention, can't be left alone much. Eat, poop/pee, play, sleep... repeat, repeat, repeat. Puppy-raising is also filled with joy and fun. Young puppies have sharp teeth and tend to go for human fingers and toes when available. The adopters will need to be home most (if not all the time), have a home with a backyard, and be fully aware of what puppy care is all about. Not for those who are not ready to full commit to puppy care. Need to have a plan for puppy training and socialization with other puppies. Prior young dog experience is not required but preferable. No other dogs in the home under two years old, please. Cats okay. The employment of a crate and exercise pen (x-pen) will be important too. We are looking for a home with minimal stairs/steps. Pink's adopter will need to accept Pink for the very special dog she is. We want her to absolutely thrive.
Medical: In good health. Has had two of three distemper vaccinations. One of our vets believes that Pink does exhibit the signs of dwarfism (chondrodysplasia). Her legs are shorter and her front paws are turned outwards (much like a basset hound). Our vets report that she might get arthritis in her joints earlier than expected. We took Pink to an eye doctor on 02 January. That vet determine that Pink's right eye has a detached retina resulting in likely no or very limited vision in her right eye. She has some very small cataracts in her left eye but they are not large enough to impact her vision at their current size. We are quite impressed with Pink's ability to get around and navigate things in her world despite these eye issues. Despite dwarfism, Pink is taking the new world by storm. Gonna be hard to hold this girl back. Pink is not fully vaccinated yet, so she will be confined to the adopter's home and backyard until mid-February, when she gets that third distemper vaccination, to ensure she does not contact parvo or some other disease that is harmful to puppies. Lab Rescue will work with the adopter to spay Pink down the road.
