Sweet and Spunky Primrose is ready to find her forever family. She has a ton of personality packed into a tiny 7 lb package and has been such a fun pup to have in our home.
Primrose is a pretty typical, 3 month old puppy. At only 7 lbs, she will stay fairly small. She spends her days practicing crate training, playing with her foster siblings and emptying out the toy box. She loves meal times and hasn't minded her foster brother eating near her. She plays hard but really loves to snuggle with the humans as the evening winds down.
Primrose arrived in Wisconsin on February 14th and it was zero degrees. With the cold snap/negative temps, Primrose didn't want to potty outside. We allowed her and her foster brother to use potty pads during that time as they couldn't handle the cold temps. She has done pretty well with the potty pads and we will start working on an outside potty routine with her now that it is warming up.
Due to COVID/the cold weather, Primrose hasn't met many new people with us but she warmed up to her foster family very quickly. We have not seen her with kids but she is mouthy so would need to be supervised with any young kids until she learns those boundaries. She does redirect to toys fairly easily.
She currently has three other pups in her foster home; two adult dogs and another puppy about her same age. She plays mostly with the other puppy and they play like typical pups. She wants to be friends with the adult dogs but they are less interested. She does need some help remembering to give them some space when they would prefer she leave them alone. Overall she is pretty submissive with them and she does read the cues pretty well when they give her correction.
She has two kitties in her foster home and is interested/wants to play with the cats. She does respond well to corrections from the cat. Based on my observations, I think she could live with a cat but would need supervised interaction and some correction from both felines and humans so she can learn those boundaries.
Prim is a medium energy pup. She does well with a few zips around the house with the other pups and some play time but settles in with toys or snuggles on the couch. Due to the cold weather, we haven't spent much time on leash so she will likely need some work on leash skills in her adoptive home. She does great in the car (crated).
Primrose is crated when left alone. She is still a puppy and has tried chewing things like the corner of the rug, charging cords, pieces of stuff she finds on the floor, etc so she will need to be supervised. She has done really well in her crate and can be crated away from me while I work but she doesn't signal when she needs a break so she will have accidents in the crate if you don't let her out every 3 hours or so. Overnight she can go about six hours without a break.
She is being treated for a urinary tract infection with a round of antibiotics.
Primrose has been a super fun pup to have in our home. She is sweet, affectionate and would be a great addition to any family.
