Foster Home Feedback 

3/19/26 Foster Feedback: We’re just shy of 3 weeks having Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in our home. She’s growing into such a sweet and slightly sassy girl. She loves to be outside now that the days are turning warmer and greatly enjoys either chasing a ball or her foster sister around the yard. Rikki is still sleeping through the night like a champ, and voices her opinions about being left alone while we are at work. She had her first event and was quite the social butterfly with both kids and adults. 

 

3/6/26 Foster Feedback: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a very sweet and sometimes spicy little girl. Her personality is still developing, but so far she’s a very happy puppy.  Potty training is still in the very early stages, but she sleeps like a champ in a kennel overnight with no complaints.

Rikki adores her much bigger foster dog siblings. The resident cat, however, remains a puzzling creature—mostly because he’s too aloof to bother with her. Like many young pups, Rikki is in her “shark phase,” so good chew bones are a must.

During the workday, Rikki stays in a gated enclosure, which is the only time she voices her displeasure. 

Rikki is sweet, silly, and ready for a family who will guide her through puppyhood with patience and love.
