Bocce

Description

Adoption fee: $650 Mama Picnic’s babies are here, and these may just be the mellowest little puppies around. Rescued alongside their mama, a 30ish lb Scottie type mix, after being found abandoned and brought to a shelter, the Picnic pups have spent their earliest weeks safe in foster care, growing into happy, social, playful little explorers. At just 8 weeks old, they’ve already mastered the important things in life: eating enthusiastically, wrestling with siblings, chasing sticks, tripping humans with shoelaces, and collapsing into giant puppy naps together afterward.   These puppies have been raised in a home environment with lots of love, attention, and guidance. They spend their days playing together, cuddling with their people, hanging out with the resident doodle, and learning great puppy habits along the way. They sleep piled together in their x-pen on a giant fluffy dog bed and are already doing impressively well with potty routines for such young pups.   Routine The Picnic pups start their day around 7:00–7:30am, heading straight outside to their designated potty area where they are remarkably consistent for babies their age. Once business is handled, it’s time for zoomies, wrestling matches, and exploring while breakfast is prepared. Meals are served family-style in a communal puppy bowl, with some puppies approaching breakfast more enthusiastically than others. After breakfast, they enjoy supervised outdoor playtime in a secure enclosed area if the weather is nice, followed by a much-needed group nap back in their pen. Lunch is around 1:30–2:00pm, dinner is around 9:00pm, and throughout the day they alternate between play sessions, potty breaks, cuddles, and epic puppy naps. At night, they head out for one last potty break before lights out around 10:00pm, usually ending the day in a sleepy puppy pile together. Bocce (6 lb on May 7th) The only girl of the group, Bocce may be the smallest puppy, but she absolutely carries herself like she runs the household. Confident, fearless, and hilariously opinionated, Bocce is convinced she can boss around dogs ten times her size — and somehow gets away with it because everyone finds her adorable. She’s outgoing, playful, social, and always ready to explore something new. While her brothers are usually happy to cuddle for long stretches, Bocce prefers quick affection breaks before she’s off on another adventure. She’s the most consistent with potty habits, the least shy of the bunch, and definitely the ringleader of the crew. Personality The Picnic pups are social, affectionate, playful little puppies who truly enjoy being around people. They love toys, sticks, leaves, tug games, and especially anything one puppy can steal so the others can chase them around. After every burst of play comes an equally dramatic group nap. They’re adventurous without being wild, cuddly without being clingy, and remarkably mellow for such young puppies. Most of all, they genuinely seem to enjoy simply being together — whether that’s exploring outside, tumbling around in play, or sleeping in one giant puppy pile at the end of the day.   These babies are looking for homes ready for all the fun, training, structure, and lifelong commitment that come with raising a puppy. In return, they’ll provide endless entertainment, affection, and a lot of very tiny paws underfoot.
