However, they are typically adopted by their foster parents who have cared for them during the reunification process. At Summit County Children Services, you must become a foster parent if you want to adopt.
And when I ask how long they've had the puppy, it's usually a short time like 3 or 4 days or maybe two weeks. It takes longer than two weeks (generally) to fully potty train a puppy. (Some do catch on much faster.) It's very simple to potty train a puppy, but that doesn't mean it's easy.
Best to spay before if at all possible - usually around 6-9 months old. If the dog comes in heat before you get spayed, you will need to wait about a month after she is finished and you will have to keep her on leash for potty - never let her outside alone and sometimes have to crate her inside (or clean up blood spots).
