My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

NOTE: All our Cupids are fostered in private homes. An approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Meet Desdemona!
Desdemona is a sweet, sassy silly petite little "pocket pittie." She is approximately 7 months old as of August 2014 and weighs less than 30 lbs!

She loves to run, play, go in the pool, steal foster mom's shoes and snuggle in bed. She is smart and food motivated. She loves all other dogs, but she has never met a cat.

Desdemona still has some manners to learn but is learning fast. She can be a little "puppy mouthy" when excited so a home with smaller children probably wouldn't be a good fit.

She is just a happy girl and wants to please, she needs someone to continue showing her how to be a good girl and learn more skills to make her perfect!

Desdemona’s adoption fee is $300 and she’s located in Milwaukee, WI. Because all our Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
