About BW: Badger

This litter of puppies will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, July 18th from 12–3 PM (unless pre-adopted prior to the event). All puppies are available for pre-adoption now and will be ready to go to their homes on July 15th! All puppies are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Meet Badger! Badger is everyone's favorite lounge puppy. He's calm and mellow, loves being carried around in his puppy sling, and is happiest when he's snuggled close. Once he relaxes, he'll rest his head on your shoulder and happily soak up all the cuddles. He's gentle, curious, and playful without being overly energetic. Born in the rescue on May 18, 2026, he's the lucky offspring of Mama Clover, a 30-pound mixed breed with a fabulous personality. Dad is a mystery, but with puppies weighing 5–7 pounds at this young age, we expect Badger to grow into a medium-sized dog. He is one of a litter of six puppies, all of whom are the sweetest, friendliest puppies we have ever had. They are mellow, quiet, playful, curious, and incredibly people-oriented. They come running when called, expecting either food or affection, and watching them trot over with happy little faces is guaranteed to make your day. For puppies, they are remarkably well behaved. They sleep quietly through the night in their x-pen, settle nicely during the day, and spend their waking hours playing, exploring, wrestling, and soaking up attention. Tug-of-war is a favorite game, and every one of them loves cuddles. Their days follow a wonderful routine that has helped them become such confident, happy little pups. They wake around 7:00 a.m. for breakfast and a potty break, enjoy some playtime before settling in for a nap, spend the afternoon alternating between meals, outdoor play, and more naps, and finish the day with dinner, one last potty break, and a peaceful night's sleep. They're excellent eaters, and they're already learning that people are the source of both delicious meals and lots of love. Badger has been raised with love from the very beginning, and it shows. He is affectionate, social, easygoing, and wonderfully well adjusted for his age. While he will continue learning and growing in his new home, he has already built an incredible foundation that will help him thrive.
