Christmas Puppies

[Camp Creek Kid]

I'm looking for a puppy to give my kids for Christmas. Does anyone have any leads on puppies that will be ready for Christmas? We're in SoWal so we'd like to find one within a reasonable distance (NW Florida, South Alabama, South Georgia).

Breed is not too important right now--I want to see what my choices are. However, we'd like a puppy that will grow up to be medium-sized. A mixed breed is o.k. too. It will be adored by 4 beautiful children.

Hi CCK!
Have you looked through the puppies on Petfinder.org yet? They have photo listings of all the pets currently available at the shelters, vets, etc. With little paragraphs on each ones personality too! Here's a direct link for you with search results for Puppies in zip 32459. You can modify this search easily, but this will be a great place to start:

Click here to see the dogs currently available from RUFF(Rescued Unwanted Furry Friends). Look under "Petfinder Friends" menu.

These are a few of my picks.

Katie Blue said it all. There are plenty of puppies found at the shelters which will be ready for Christmas. I rescued one of mine from the shelter in Ft Walton. The people working there are very cool, and so are the dogs. Think of it as saving another life, instead of lining some breeder's pocket..

Great choice. Both of my girls were spayed and I have no regrets. NO time for puppies no matter how cute. The younger one, who is quite vivacious, was supposed to "take it easy". The first afternoon home, she went racing down the back steps and I was terrified she had hurt herself. Dogs know their limits, and she was fine. My only suggestion is to ask for medicine for nausea afterward. Both my dogs get sick, and a dog with dry heaves(sp?) is NO fun and quite uncomfortable for them. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice! I have been through this before, but it was like 13 years ago!

What a wonderful idea to get a rescued puppy! My sister has four pugs, three of which are rescued. They've all turned out to be the most well-adjusted, loving dogs you could ever wish for. My nieces adore these pugs so much. Looking into saving a puppy is definitely something to go for.
