Description:
Meet Soren, an incredibly smart and playful puppy with a whole lot of energy! Soren is currently working on potty training—he’s made great progress but still has a few accidents here and there. Like his brother, he can play a bit rough at times, but he’s learning from the older dogs to be a little more gentle. Soren is a true puppy in every sense—chewing everything in sight, but he’s got plenty of toys and chew options to keep him entertained. This little guy is also impressively clever—he’s already figured out how to use the stairs to reach the couch, showing off his growing independence and problem-solving skills!While he’s still perfecting his leash skills, Soren is getting more used to his harness and enjoys his walks, though he can easily get distracted by all the exciting new smells and sights. When he's not chewing or learning something new, he loves running laps around the kitchen table and into the living room, always ready to burn off that playful puppy energy before taking a well-deserved nap.Soren would thrive in a home where he can continue learning, growing, and exploring. If you're ready to welcome this smart, energetic puppy into your life, Soren could be the perfect fit for your family!This litter was rescued from a euthanasia list in a high kill shelter in Texas.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

(you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/ Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed. A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
