​ Eris and her siblings were part of an unplanned litter in Detroit.  We were told their mom is a Rottweiler mix (not seeing this at all in the pups) and dad was an unknown stray. While ‘Detroit Special’ isn’t a breed we can select for their profiles, that’s what these pups are. Your breed mix guess is as good as ours! Based on current size, estimated age, and paw size, the vet estimates Eris will grow to be 20-25 pounds as an adult.

These pups came to us very skinny and under-socialized. They are looking a lot better after getting regular meals – they LOVE their food. New people, places, and things are all a bit scary. They do warm up as they feel more comfortable, but adopters will need to continue to work to socialize their pup to build confidence and trust. Despite their rough start to life, these pups are very sweet and loving!

Eris is a good mix of playful and cuddly. She likes to play with rope toys and to chase/wrestle with her littermates. She also likes to sniff out any kibble or treats that may be around -- a snuffle mat or puzzle toy would be a good investment for her future family!
