Meet the Nightmare Before Christmas Pups! These adorable little ones were found as newborns without their mama and have been lovingly bottle-fed by our dedicated fosters. They're now over seven weeks old and thriving! While they're not quite ready to leave for their forever homes, we're opening up applications so you can start the process.
There are four playful boys and one sweet girl in this litter. We've done DNA testing to get a better idea of their breed mix, and we suspect they're a delightful Chi mix. At seven weeks old, they each weigh between 3.3 and 4 pounds. They are typical, energetic puppies who love to explore, run in the yard, and get into all sorts of puppy mischief! Potty training is underway, and they're doing their best. They received their first DHPP vaccine, microchip, and dewormer, along with a full grooming on 10/20/25.
Ideal Home
These puppies thrive on companionship, so a home with other dogs would be wonderful. They also adore spending time in the yard, which would be a bonus! We estimate they'll be around 20 pounds, but this is just a guess. They need a home where they won't be left alone for long hours, as they require a lot of attention.
Ongoing Health
The puppies have received their first DHPP vaccine, microchip, and dewormer. You will be responsible for continuing their vaccine and deworming schedule with your veterinarian. They are too young for spay/neuter now; we recommend discussing this with your vet for the appropriate timing, typically around six months or older. A $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit is required and will be returned upon proof of the procedure.
Training & Support
These are typical puppies and are still learning potty training. They are full of energy and love to play and explore.
