About Coolidge

Meet Coolidge !! We recently took in this sweet boy and his adorable siblings from a family that was unable to support feeding and caring for them anymore. He is approx 4 months old and male. He appears to be Pit-bull type mix (judging from mom's photo) and should be medium size when full grown. His mom looked to be about 50 pounds and dad is unknown. He was 7 pounds at his last visit. His neuter is scheduled but not completed yet. He came to us very skinny and full of worms. He is fairly small for his age/breed but may rebound with growth now that the worms are gone and lots of food is always available. He was still skinny in some photos as they were taken throughout his time here. All puppies will get vaccines, dewormed, neutered, and a microchip. Puppies that are already neutered will have a 2-hour adoption radius from Hampton VA, the ones not yet neutered will have a 1 hour radius. Coolidge is a very sweet boy. He was in very rough shape when arriving. He currently loves to just be held and snuggle. When he's ready to play he's very agile and loves to climb and jump. He is recovering very well and is more outgoing everyday. He loves other dogs and love kids. He can be a little shy with new dogs but once he sees they are safe he plays hard. He would love another playful/active dog in the house to play with. He has not met any cats so far. He tries his best with potty training but when inside the crate he has not figured out how to tell you he needs to go out. He does better when you have him out and take him out frequently. He is also learning the doggie door. The older he gets the longer he can hold it and the more he figures out the house holds routine. He has been doing really well with crate training and is very quiet in there but will potty in there at times. He did great on car rides. He has not started leash training. He has not had any trouble sharing food treats and toys with humans or other dogs. He loves to explore and play but is also sweet and cuddly. He is a fun, curious and happy puppy. So far he has a medium to high energy level. He will need lots of playtime and both mental and physical exercise every single day. Puppies not given proper exercise can display destructive behaviors and have difficulty with training and manners. How they turn out is largely up to how much effort and time your family puts into them now. He has the potential to be wonderfully trained and well behaved dogs. Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family's lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting. Vet and home checks required.
