BROCCOLI
About
BROCCOLI hails from a Northern community and came south with his 2 siblings, Spinach & Zucchini (the Green Litter) to find his forever home. He’s had 1 set of puppy vaccines, a microchip, “Interceptor Plus” dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his Vet. We have no information on either parent so the breeds we have him listed as and the size he’ll grow to be are just educated guess based on what he looks like. Due to his size we suspect he could be a big boy and he almost looks like he could have Newfoundlander in him too. He does come from a community with many stray dogs so he no doubt has many different breeds in him that are not as notable as well. He’s a very placid, laid back little fluff ball who loves his humans almost as much as he loves taking naps. He’s also super chill, gentle and quiet and loves to play in his fenced-in yard and will happily follow his sister around. Another of his favourite things is to go on an adventure to find sticks and sniff out leaves in the yard. He’s well socialized with people and will excitedly run up to greet them with a wagging tail. Snuggles! Did someone mention snuggles? He loves them and will eagerly curl up in your lap to get lots of them. BROCCOLI is a happy-go-lucky, playful puppy who’s full of curiosity and is just learning what squeaky toys are all about and he’s always startled when one of his favourites actually has a squeaky in it. With his lovely personality and good nature he’s ready to find his forever home where he can continue to thrive and grow. BROCCOLI has just started his crate training and he’s picking up on it very quickly as he’s one smart little boy. He’s only just started going out for his bathroom breaks so he’s just starting to understand that’s the place to do his business. He’s not going out for walks just yet seeing as he’s not vaccinated enough but he is wearing a collar and harness with a leash so he can be walked around the back yard. Due to teething, he’s at a chewing stage and needs lots of chewy toys to satisfy that urge not to chew on anything that he shouldn’t. He really loves to chew on a Nyla bone to keep those little teeth busy too. He’s starting to learn a couple of basic commands already such as “sit” for his meals and take treats “gentle.” BROCCOLI would love an active family who loves the outdoors, going on hikes, walks and will take him on adventures with them. He travels well in a vehicle and will just rest in his crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. He has a resident dog in his foster home and he’ll seek him out to romp and play with so he would definitely suit being with other dogs in his new home. Ideally they should be chill and placid like he is and they’d be fine putting up with puppy antics. He can be an only dog as long as he’s not left alone for long periods of time. He hasn't met a cat but seeing as he’s just a puppy and with a slow, monitored introduction they should do well together. He requires a fenced-in yard so he can run around and play safely so he wouldn’t suit being in an apartment and that’s also due to the size we think he’ll be. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals. BROCCOLI, like all puppies is cute, playful and fun but he’ll require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We need his adopter to commit to signing him up for puppy training/obedience classes so he can be the most well behaved puppy possible. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his potential adopter must be in agreement to have his neuter performed by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (whichever comes first.) It will either be at the Rescue’s vet’s office or be at the Barrie SPCA. You do have the option to use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it at the SPCA. However, his neuter will still have to be performed in the above timeframe for the reimbursement and we’ll need a copy of the procedure invoice and an updated photo of him (preferably in a cone after the surgery.) We use the photo on our fb page along with other animals that were spay/neutered that same week. If BROCCOLI sounds like he’d suit your home and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him. It should be noted that puppies personalities can change daily/weekly as their little brains develop. We try to keep our puppy postings as up-to-date as possible but due to their development, it’s not always possible to note 100% accurate behavioural information.
