Pony

To learn more about Pony and Hearts for Paws, go to: After too long at a holding facility outside of Fresno, Pony landed safely in a Hearts For Paws foster home with his mama Lady and five littermates.

All have been around other dogs, loads of people, and some farm animals.

Mama Lady is a medium sized (40lb) mixed breed who is super sweet and gentle, listens well, walks fine on leash and loves to play and run.

Pony (male) and his littermates are very active, friendly and cuddly.

Pony is very smart and curious.

He is a good climber, finding a way to climb over any barrier.

He loves to play and wrestle but always seems to be the first one to lay down for a snooze.

Pony and his littermates are getting the best of care and will be ready for their forever homes on March 9th.

$450 adoption donation includes includes age-appropriate shots, microchip with free lifetime registry, deworming, flea preventative, and spay/neuter agreement addendum Ideal home will: Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty.

Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.

Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting.

HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.

Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required) Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why?

Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series.

Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside.

There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning! Interested in adopting?

For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter).
