LOCATION: Foster home

ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org)

ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog: $550-$600

ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45-50 lbs estimated

ESTIMATED AGE: 8 weeks on 1/17/26

KNOWN WITH DOGS: I’m one of a big ol litter of adorable pups who were born to the greatest mom ever, Henrietta! We are typical playful pups who had a mom that gave us lots of love and a foster home who has taken great care of since we were born. We love other dogs and will be happy for a home with

or without other dogs – we just need our humans to continue our great care and socialization1

KNOWN WITH CATS: Pups raised from this age with kitties usually do just fine!

KNOWN WITH KIDS: We love people of all ages. Kids and puppies are a great pair. We just need proper oversight from the adults so that energetic kids don’t scare us – but we would love some young humans to grow up with!

KNOWN COMMANDS: None just yet – still learning.

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: We would love to start crate training now that we are older and will do so soon. Puppies love structure and do well with it so an adopter should be ready to bust out the newspapers/pee pads as well as the crate to get us ready to transition to full housebreaking in the coming weeks. We can’t wait!

KNOWN LIKES: Playing, cuddling, napping, eating and being fat, happy puppies. We can’t wait to find our families.

KNOWN DISLIKES: Pups do not love super loud noises or heavy hands. Socialization goes best with calm quiet petting and cuddling.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Akero is a male. These pups have gotten amazing care since their birth and their dog mother has been amazing. Henrietta is very friendly with people and allowed her human fosters to handle her pups easily. The pups have been well socialized and will make wonderful additions to a family!
