Iris (ADOPTED!)

My story

**IRIS HAS BEEN ADOPTED!** Pal's Place rescue would love to introduce you to seven of our newest rescues, a precious and lovable litter of Lab mix pups! These tiny nuggets are estimated to be around six weeks old (10/31) with current weights between 4-6 pounds. Pal's Place rescued the little family from an open-intake shelter in Kentucky after flooding ravaged the area. An overcrowded, chaotic, stressful pound is no place for very young pups. We heard their story and brought these sweethearts up to a wonderful foster home in Chicago to await meeting their forever families. They appear to be mostly Lab, and we can also possibly see some Boxer in their family tree. While we cannot say for sure what their breed mix is, we can say with 100% certainty they are the absolute best breed; rescued! We've named all these little guys after flowers, and there are five females (Aster, Dahlia, Iris, Laurel, Violet) and two males (Indigo &Cosmo) in our flower power litter. All the puppies in this litter are sweet, social, and happy little angels who make fantastic family companions. We expect they will mature into medium to larger-sized dogs when fully grown. We also anticipate they will be energetic, intelligent dogs who will thrive in active households. Puppies are adorable and fun but require a tremendous amount of time, patience, and energy during their first year or so. Puppies this age and size need potty breaks every 2-3 hours, along with lots and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. They will do best in homes where someone is home more often than not and with families prepared to take on crate training, housebreaking, and basic obedience training. Please consider if you truly have time for a puppy before applying, and please consult with all family members in the home before applying. Our flower power crew is still too young to leave for their forever homes but will be ready to start their new lives on November 10th. However, we are accepting applications for them now in hopes of having families lined up for them once they are eight weeks old. They will be spayed/neutered, up-to-date with age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea and heartworm prevention before being placed with families. Their adoption fee to the rescue is $475. These guys are being fostered on Chicago's north side and can be seen by appointment after an adoption application has been submitted and approved by the rescue. Please be sure you are ready to welcome a puppy into your home on 11/10-11. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on any of our dogs for any reason once they are available for adoption.

We are an all-volunteer organization, however, and may not be able to respond for 3-5 days at times.
