Name:   Seraphina (now Godiva)  

Description:   ~ Puppy, born Nov 29, 2013 ~ ADOPTED!!

Seraphina is the only girl and was the last born of Angel Charles. She is very active and already trying to explore. She was the only pup to escape the basket during our photo shoot. She and Michael look a lot alike and I suspect they will look the most like their tiny mom. Seraphina was born with a very kinked tail. The last third of her tail is bent down at more than 90 degrees like a reed in the wind.

Seraphina is cute as can be, but before you say, "Awwwww.... we MUST have a puppy," you need to be aware that cute wears off after she has eaten your sofa, peed on your Persian rug (multiple times), and turned your yard into a lunar landscape. It's hard not to be sucked in by the cute factor, but please give careful consideration to whether you are up to the challenge a puppy will impose on your home for the next several months. They require as much diligence as a human baby to keep them out of harm's way - as well as keeping your belongings out of harm's way. Puppies require loving patience (never physical discipline) as they learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Seraphina will not always be young, healthy and cute. She will one day be gray around her eyes, she may limp with arthritis and need long term medications. She needs a home that will be committed to her for her ENTIRE life - which will likely be 14-15 years or more.

If you are interested in adopting Seraphina, you may submit an application now, but we WILL NOT allow her to go to her new home until she is weaned and spayed - in February. Preference will be given to those with puppy experience, and we discourage the placement of puppies in apartments due to the noise and activity level of young dogs. Your neighbors will thank us.

Success Story:   Here she is at 5 months. A handful, but a sweetheart. We all are in love with her.
