Hi, my name is Katie!

I have had a rough start to life. I am looking for a home where someone can give me lots of time and patience while I learn that the world isn't so scary.

Puppies are just so cute, but we are a big responsibility. My new family will need to be prepared to commit to training me, socialising me, and include me in their family for my entire lifetime. Training is very important for all dogs, and puppies are no exception!

The earlier we learn our foundation behaviours like sitting, polite greetings, and walking nicely on lead the more prepared for life we will be as adult dogs. The RSPCA has puppy training classes that will be able to set us on the right path. I need to be indoors and will need your help learning where is appropriate to toilet. As I am exploring the world I will mouth, rip things, dig, and jump. It is your responsibility to help me learn what you would like me to do in a positive and fun way.

When it comes to other dogs, as I am only a young pup I have not met many dogs outside of my litter-mates yet. It is important you take me to force free training to learn appropriate dog interactions. If you have cats at home please talk to the RSPCA team about the best way to introduce us! If you think you will have the time and patience, and the ability to provide me with everything I need then maybe we could be the perfect match.
