Update from Silas's foster family on 5/19:  Silas was born on March 9th along with 7 brothers and sisters...his foster family fell in love with him on day 1! This little sweet boy with his adorable eye patch wins the hearts of everyone he meets! Since the beginning Silas has been around cats, children and many new people friends, and he has been a joy to have around. He does very well sleeping at night in his crate and also does well being crated during the day. Silas lives with 3 foster sister-dogs and enjoys running in the yard and sharing all of his toys, he very much likes to play outside. His foster home has been working very hard on potty training and is learning to go to the door when he needs to make the potty. His foster home is making sure he is being socialized with lots of new dogs and people and he loves going on car rides, and is very good about chewing on puppy toys and not people things. He likes to practice his leash walking and does great on long walks...did we mention he's an outdoors-ey guy? If you are looking for a sweet boy who is a fast learner, eager to please, loves to snuggle and will surely be a wonderful addition to you family, please consider Silas.

UPDATE FROM THEIR FOSTER MOM:
 

*Rosie gave birth to eight puppies in a loving* and attentive foster home on March 9, 2014. All puppies are eating well on their own; they no longer nurse. They each move away from the social group to potty. Their crate is inside an X-pen lined with potty pads. In the morning the crate is clean as the puppies have each used the potty pads during the night. They are all well socialized having been held and handled by over 40 people ages 2 through adult. They are handled with attention to their paws being touched and having belly rubs while being placed to lie on their back. They aren’t allowed to use hands, clothing, etc., for teething; they are given an appropriate toy for their mouth. They are accustomed to another dog and a cat in the foster home. They all play well with their littermates, but also seek and enjoy attention from humans. Photos may be seen at https://www.facebook.com/rosies.puppies.9
