Temperament

Alice is an absolute hoot, and we cannot wait to hear about all her life’s adventures! She is active, playful, funny, smart, and a little energizer bunny. She seems to get along with all her siblings, canine, feline, and human! She is the type of dog that you have to turn the off switch for her by putting her “room,” to power down for much needed naps, otherwise she is a busy bee always looking for the next adventure. With that said, she does love her room, and powers down really well in her crate.

Make no mistake, despite her 7lbs, Alice is NOT a lap dog. She wants to adventure, explore, and enjoy life being a dog and be your partner in crime. Where her size benefits her is that she’s easy to take on planes, trains, and automobiles, and we hope she’ll get the chance to explore the world with her human!

She has a very tiny bit of stranger danger towards new people, but settles in quickly in a matter of minutes with a delicious treat. We’d love her next adopter to work on building confidence around new comers.

Needs

  • Don’t let her current 7lbs fool you, Alice would make an awesome running and hiking partner! She needs an to an active family or couple, willing to give them regular walks, runs, trails, and adventures, and plenty of playtime. They should continue socialization with other dogs through puppy play dates.

  • Alice would love a back yard. Traditional fencing is NOT required.

  • Alice would love dog siblings or friends. She’s super playful, and happy to be friends with dogs of all size.

  • Adopters should be ready to start PROFESSIONAL training with one of our recommended trainers to continue proper dog socialization, work on nice leash manners using leash pressure, and heel-side walking, structured walking, place command, and prepare for off-leash remote collar fun.

  • As an organization, we prefer balanced training, and not “purely positive training.” Balanced training strikes a happy balance between a TON of positive rewards, but also rules, structure, and specific tools to set tone and boundaries for our dogs. We are firm believers that the more rules you have for your dog when they are young, the more freedom they earn as they get older. So set down expectations and boundaries for your dog now with a trainer and the right tools, so they can be part of all the family fun! Those with balanced training experience, and experience with slip lead/training collar/prong/remote collar as communication tools are preferred but not required!

Those who don’t believe in rules, routine, and structure for your dog, need not apply.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, we will only consider applicants where one adult has a more flexible schedule, as puppies are a lot of work, and will require potty breaks, exercise, training and continued human and dog socialization as they grow up.

Crate/Potty Training

All puppies and dogs rescued by FAVOR are crate trained, sleeping in the crate from 8pm-6am (with a potty break around 11pm), and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Puppies also understand the basic concept of peeing outside, but there is ALWAYS a transition period where crate cries and potty accidents WILL HAPPEN in a new home, as the dog transitions to new rules and ways to communicate.

We always recommend keeping dogs crated during nap times, bed time, and when they are alone to protect them from danger such as chewing on cords, socks, and other objects. Foreign objects can get stuck in their stomachs which can result in a very expensive surgery. We also encourage using the crate like a bedroom for your dogs as they get older, where they can take naps, take a break from human interaction, and have a time out. More importantly, the crate provides them a safe place to go to when things get overwhelming, like a lot of people, loud noises, extreme weather. Think of the crate as their “den,” and a place for them to unwind. We all need a break sometimes!
