In addition to LOVE this dog has the following requirements:
Entered Foster Care Fence Kid Friendly Another Dog Cat Friendly
9/18/2015   Not Required  Yes Optional  Not Tested 
This is the most recent information available; however, it may change as we learn more about the dog.


Alan was born while in RAGOM's care on Sept. 18th, 2015. His Mom Lilly 15-230 came into RAGOM very pregnant and due to deliver within a few weeks. Alan was the first puppy to start playing with his litter mates. If I hear yipping in their pen I can almost bet Alan has something to do with it. Alan was the first puppy born in the litter. At less then 4 weeks old he is still developing his personality. Alan's Mom is petite in size and looks like a Lab/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Dad is a mystery.

Puppies are a lot of work. They have a lot to learn their first year and they depend on you to teach them.

Alan will need to be let out mid-day even if your working. He will not be able to hold his bladder for a full work day and may not be able to hold it for 4 hours. Alan will need a loving and understanding family that will come home and let him out midday and understand he may of had an accident before you get home.  

Obedience training, learning proper manners and socialization with other dogs/humans is very important. Alan needs a family that is committed to taking him to Obedience class, teaching him manners and taking him out and introducing him to new people and visiting new places.

Alan is now 8 weeks old, has been neutered and is waiting for his forever family to find him. He's growing up and still showing me how very smart he is. Alan knows his name or his nickname Big Al and comes running to me when I call him. Alan has the manners of a gentleman, is paper trained for the most part and has showed a desire to do his jobs outside. He loves to play, but not a real roughhouse player. Alan loves to play chase and tumble play with his siblings. Alan will sit by the pen, watch me work and waits patiently for me to pick him up (which I do often). He loves to snuggle and be by his human when not exploring. Alan will make a great addition to any family. If you're interested in knowing more about Alan or in adopting him, please let your placement advisor know.

Alan is now 6-1/2 weeks old and he and his siblings have moved to a new foster home without their Mom, Lilly 15-230. Lilly had stopped nursing her puppies so it was time for the puppies to learn to live without their Mom. They all made the transition well.

Alan has been to the vet for his 6 week checkup and now weighs 11 pounds and is very healthy. He received his Distemper booster along with Bordetella and dewormer. The puppies enjoyed meeting all the vet techs and even the people stopping by to see them in the parking lot of the clinic. We put their kennel onto a cart and then wheeled them from our car to the office. The cart then became a play toy with lots of climbing, playing king of the hill and hiding under it. Here are 2 videos of their visit to the vet - video 1 & video 2 .

Alan is now 5 weeks old and doing what most 5 week old puppies like to do - eat, nurse, play hard and sleep even harder. He had a social day to meet new people and at that time new pictures were taken. I can't believe how much he's grown in just a week's time. Alan now weighs 7.7 pounds.

Alan is growing up, but still a little guy. He's just over 4 weeks old now and exploring the world around him. All puppies have started softened food and are loving it. Here is a link to a video of the puppies first time outside on grass.

Alan is now old enough to meet his new family. Alan will need to stay with his Mom Lilly, littermates and his foster family till he's neutered at 8 or 9 weeks old. If Alan is the right fit for your family let your placement adviser know.
