Puppies return to CCHS

Harriett took our foster pups back to the Champaign County Humane Society this morning. They will have their spay/neuter surgery today and should be up for adoption tomorrow (Friday). Jake and Charlie have holds, but Alan, Heidi, and Ruby are available.

The puppies have made great progress and have become more outgoing over the last two weeks. It is still important, however, for their adopters to continue working with the puppies over the next couple of months to have them meet as many different types of people as possible and give them positive life experiences.

CCHS requires everyone who adopts a puppy sign up for a training class at one of the local dog training facilities. Every one of our foster puppies goes to puppy class, but Harriett and I strongly recommend that everyone take their dogs to another, home companion class once the pup is about a year old. It’s in this second class that the dog will learn useful life skills, like sitting on command, coming when called, and walking on a loose leash. Everyone in the family should be involved in training the puppy and will all live happily ever after.
