Because of this, adopters should be prepared for:

Potty training and accidents

Teething and chewing stages

Crate training and leash training

Nighttime wakeups and supervision

Ongoing socialization and structure

The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, basic structure, and socialization, adopters must be prepared to continue training and support after adoption.

Chispita will need:

Positive reinforcement training

Frequent potty breaks and supervision

Patience and consistency

Continued socialization and exposure

Routine and structure as she grows

Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:

3 days to decompress

3 weeks to learn your routine

3 months to fully feel at home

With patience, training, and love, puppies like Chispita grow into wonderful lifelong companions.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Owning a puppy is a major lifelong commitment that includes training, daily exercise, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life.

Chispita will need:

Ongoing puppy training and guidance

Routine veterinary visits and vaccine boosters

Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

Proper nutrition and growth monitoring

Daily exercise, enrichment, and companionship

A safe, stable, indoor living environment

Puppies require ongoing veterinary care throughout their first year, including booster vaccines, spay/neuter surgery when age-appropriate, and routine wellness monitoring.

Because Chispita is still very small, extra care should be taken around larger animals, rough play, stairs, and unsafe chewing hazards.

Chispita is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
