PERSONALITY
Ross is a confident and friendly little guy full of puppy energy. His foster family says he’s super sweet and snuggly and of course, it’s obvious how adorable he is.
COMPANIONSHIP
Ross loves play time and naptime and romping with his sibling family and he will love you too if you bring him home to be your loving companion. He really loves exploring the outdoors and enjoys the company of all people and other dogs.
TRAINING AND LEARNING
Every day Ross learns new things about the world and about how to have good puppy manners. He will be eager to work with a patient family who can help him continue his potty training and crate training. He is quiet in his crate from 9:00 p.m. till 6:00 a.m. and the crate is dry in the morning. He is already doing well learning to walk nicely on a leash. Ross thinks treats are really great and that should help him focus during training. Ross already knows the words “sit” and “no.”
IDEAL HOME
Ross will thrive in a patient family who can help him grow to become his best self. He is also looking for someone who won't leave him home alone for more than 4 hours, at least not until he is older. The older he is, the more he can stay home alone. He just doesn't want his people to get mad at him if he has accidents or chews things he’s not supposed to when he is left alone for too long. He’s a puppy, so he gets bored quickly and when he’s bored, he could get in trouble.
If you’re looking for an adorable mixed-breed puppy expected to grow into a loving companion, meet Ross today.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
