This is almost too much cuteness!!!

These little cuties are available for adoption to approved homes.  We were told they were Australian Shepherd mixes.  Maybe?  We didn’t see the parents so we cannot be sure.  Be sure that if you are thinking about adopting one of these little guys you are prepared to bring a very BUSY dog into your family.  They are going to need a lot of training, exercise and CONSTANT attention for a while.  They are very smart puppies and find all sorts of ways to get into mischief.

We also CANNOT say for sure how big we think they are going to get.  It is hard to estimate when they are this little and we haven’t seen the parents.  We are estimating them to be between 45 – 60 lbs when they are full grown but that is an ESTIMATE.

Download and bring the completed application with you to the SPCA to meet with the puppies. Puppy Adoption Application.

paw prints sand…Is when it is time to say goodbye.

They don’t live nearly long enough.  Some people have a very difficult time dealing with the loss of a pet.

The SPCA of Solano County now has a program to help you cope with that loss.

The group meets the first Tuesday of every month from 7 -8:30 pm at the SPCA of Solano County in the Education Classroom, located at 2200 Peabody Rd, Vacaville, CA 95687. This is a free service but donations are always accepted. Bring a photo of your beloved pet to share.

The group will be facilitated by a mental health professional, Bonnie Mader, a pioneer in the field of pet loss and human emotion and the co-founder of the Pet Loss Support Hotline. The first 45 minutes Dr. Kelly Palm, the other co-founder of the Pet Loss Support Hotline will be there to answer medical questions.
