My littermates and I came to SPCA as tiny neonates and were lovingly bottle-fed. Now we're ready to find homes of our own! Hi, I'm Cassava! 🌼 I'm a gorgeous little pup with a big future ahead of me! I started life as a tiny neonate needing round-the-clock care, and thanks to my wonderful caregivers, I'm now ready to find a family who can help me continue to thrive. I'm at the perfect age to start learning all about the world around me. I'll need a family who understands that puppies take time, patience and commitment. I'm looking for people who will guide me with kindness, positive reinforcement and plenty of encouragement as I grow. A home with an existing friendly, well-socialised dog would be fantastic. Having a canine role model could help me settle in and learn some important doggy life skills. Dog-savvy children could also be suitable, provided they're gentle and understand the needs of a growing puppy. Confident cats may be an option with slow and sensible introductions. I'll need to attend puppy school to help me become a confident, well-mannered adult. A securely fenced yard is also essential so I have a safe space to play, explore and enjoy all the fun that comes with being a puppy. If you're looking for a special little companion to grow alongside your family, I could be the one! 💕
