Meet Nene from the Hawaiian litter! These puppies are sweet, fun, and happy-go-lucky, with coats that may be black, brindle, and touched with white. Their father is believed to be a Golden Retriever.

At 14 weeks, the puppies weigh around 15 pounds and are expected to reach 60 pounds or more as adults. They are currently in foster homes and learning puppy basics, including crate training and housebreaking.

Ideal Home

Puppies are reported to be good with dogs, cats, and children. They will need patient adopters prepared for frequent feeding, potty breaks, chewing, nighttime crate crying, and continued socialization and training. The 3-3-3 guideline can help them adjust during their first days, weeks, and months.

Ongoing Health

Nene will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated appropriately for her age before going home. Additional puppy vaccines, including rabies, will be needed at 16 weeks.

Training & Support

Nene is learning crate training and housebreaking. Each dog goes home with a goody bag containing a collar and leash, toys, chews, a Kong, and more. Adopters receive medical records, a microchip transfer form, and other paperwork.
