Adopting Puppies together (why PPRI does not)

"Littermate Syndrome" is an umbrella term for the variety of behavioral problems that may arise from raising two littermates, or even similarly aged puppies, together. This can be everything from a lack of bonding with people, reluctance to learn commands, separation anxiety, aggression, or resource-guarding. Some professionals do not like to use the term "Littermate Syndrome" as the problem behaviors may have several causes, but raising two like-age puppies is a contributor. Pet Pack Rescue wants to set our puppies and adopters up for success and prefers not to take the risk of adopting litter mates together.
