Bear is definitely the cutest puppy in this litter with his fluffy black coat.  He resembles a little bear cub.  Because of his total cuteness factor he has been a favorite of most of the kids and has been held and played with a great deal.  He loves his playtime and often wiggles to get out of my arms so he can get down on the floor playing with his siblings.  He is absolutely a cutie pie.

The mother to this litter is a lab aussie mix and is on the small side.  She weighs between 35-49lbs.  She is a timid but sweet dog.  Her puppies have been very well socialized and have their mother's sweet loving personality.  They have been around a lot of children and would not hesitate to place these puppies with kids.  The people who turned Nicki over to our organization told us that the father was a red merle aussie.  Nicki arrived in our home about three weeks prior to her birth so we were able to get her parasite free and well fed.  Because mom has been in good health the puppies have been in excellent health and received an excellent review from our vets during their health exam for their innoculations.   If you would like to meet these puppies, please complete our online adoption application which can be found at www.homewardbound2u.rescuegroups.org.
