Meet Almendra's "Rock Star Hall of Fame" litter - this is Tina Turner!
Tina was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991 and this namesake puppy was found on a beach in Puerto Rico along with her litter mates and mama. Tina is an active puppy, with a temperament meant for super-play with cats, people or dogs then snuggles! She's a soft, golden girl weighing in at the middle of the pack at about 13 lbs. at just 8 weeks old. She's a sweet, active pup that looks the most like her Mama and ready for lots of adventures to share with you. Tina Turner has proven to be super smart: she is doing great with potty training, playing fetch, understanding "gentle", plays well with cats / dogs / and interested in those weird things called "chicken". She is pen trained at night, and has a potty pad just in case. She's a light eater, and really LOVES to be around people.
Tina and her siblings have had all the proper vetting necessary to ensure they are healthy pups and because we had Mama in the rescue, they were able to nurse until 5 1/2 weeks old - which gives them an awesome start to their new life.

Background: Almendra is a Sato (homeless mixed breed) from Puerto Rico that was rescued on the beach after a tourist noticed she was "very" pregnant. PRDF arrived within 24-36 hours after she gave birth, and scooped her up a long with all her sweet babies. They have been in our care and very socialized; vetted from day 1 and are great puppies! We expect them all to grow to be solid, medium sized adults, as Mama Almendra appears to have a lot of Golden Retriever and Shepherd in her (approx. 55 lbs). We will find homes not only for the babies, but Almendra as well as soon as we sterilize her so her hardships of single motherhood are over.
