Meet Cereal: Frosted Mini Wheats

Adoption fee: $700   Kellogg’s Cereal puppies are 9 weeks old as of January 27, 2023. They came into our rescue with Mom from the shelter when they were days old. Momma Kellogg, an Irish Wolfhound mix (who has been adopted!) had 13 puppies who she whelped, cared for, and kept safe and then was an amazing mom to all of them until it was time for her to hang up the apron strings. Dad is a mystery, and the puppies have a variety of looks to them! We wouldn't be surprised if there was some Mini Schnauzer, a touch of Labrador, and a couple other breeds in the mix. Mama weighed about 60 lbs and the pups seem like they will be smaller than that, but it's hard to guess their adult size, so adopters should be prepared for whatever they end up with! These puppies have lived in the most fantastic foster home who raised them, held them every day, touched them all over so they would be accustomed to it for the future when it comes to vet visits and/or grooming.   All puppies started to acknowledge and follow the human finger pointing. For example, foster mom would say a name, point to the bed, and ask the puppy to lay down. It was becoming a natural response. These puppies are so smart! The puppies are almost able to sleep throughout the night without waking up and needing to go potty. When they were young, it was a bazillion trips outside but now, it’s one at most. Good job foster mom and pups! Puppies sleep through all kinds of noises and are accustomed to sounds of the TV, people talking loudly and laughing, music blaring. They even slept as the foster had another litter that screamed in the house. The foster made sure that Kellogg’s pups felt safe and weren’t bothered by any kind of sounds. This makes for very confident puppies as they grow older and older.   The puppies are happy, playful, smart puppies. They eat Nulo puppy kibble three times a day. They are close to being potty trained on a grassy potty pad. They all have been taught to sit before they get to eat.   It can be difficult to pin down their personalities, which are ever-changing at this age, but here are some notes from their foster family!   Frosted Mini Wheats: Smart as a whip, with a little independent streak. She's ready for adventures and excited to break out of the pack!   Crackle: Welcome to the cuddler of the group. If you're looking for a lil lap dog, she's your girl! Prepare for all the snuggles and love.   Snap: This one is an escape artist- to find you and get some snuggles! She'll climb her way out of the pen and seek out humans. She's very people-oriented.   Raisin Bran: She loves to play with her siblings… sometimes even when they don’t want to play! She would be a great option to join a playful dog in the home and be their new best friend.   Fruity Pebbles: This one lives for the belly rubs. She's got the sweetest little face and will gaze up at you with those puppy eyes and beg for more pets!   Cheerios: is a funny puppy. Watch this one run around with zoomies and then fall asleep wherever he crashes! He's adaptable and a little goofball.   Wheaties: This little dude will be the one that changes your life. You’re looking for a best friend? Here you go. You’re looking for that once in a lifetime dog? He's your man!   The puppies are only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 5 years. If there are children, they should be over the age of 5.
