Mars is fun-loving and all puppy. He’s ready to explore the world, enjoy playtime, and bring plenty of smiles to his forever family. If you’re looking for a little companion to share your days and grow alongside your family, Mars may be your perfect match!

As with any young puppy, Mars will need a family who understands that puppies require time, patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Housetraining is still a work in progress, so his new family will need to continue working with him and give him the patience and consistency he needs to succeed.

Because Mars is such a tiny little guy, his safety is very important. His ideal home will meet the following requirements:

🐾 No medium or large dogs. Mars needs a home where his small size will be kept in mind.

🐾 No small, disrespectful children. Any children in the home must understand how to be gentle and respectful with a tiny puppy.

🐾 No older adults who are unsteady on their feet. Mars could easily be underfoot and create a tripping hazard.

🐾 A fenced yard is not required. Mars can be safely taken outside on a harness and leash. If you do have a fenced yard, it must be very secure, with no gaps or openings where he could slip through.  Adding an xpen is not a bad idea.

Mars is ready to find a family who will treasure him, keep him safe, and enjoy all the fun that comes with raising a puppy. With patience, love, and a steady routine, Mars will have the support he needs to blossom into a wonderful companion. 

Make sure the entire household it ready to consider Mars before completing an application.
