My personality

My story

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

At just 10 weeks old and 5 pounds of pure charm, Slinky is the perfect mix of playful and thoughtful. This little guy will happily chase a broom like it’s the most exciting game in the world, then curl up for a snuggle with his favorite human or a furry friend. When he’s not busy with play or cuddles, you might just find him sitting quietly, contemplating life with his sweet puppy eyes.

Slinky is still young and will need patience, love, and guidance as he grows, but he’s already showing what a wonderful companion he will become. Whether you’re looking for a playful sidekick, a cuddle buddy, or a little philosopher to share your days with, Slinky is ready to wiggle right into your heart.

Important Adoption Info:
These puppies are still very young and require:
- Feeding three times a day
- Frequent potty breaks
- Ongoing training and socialization
- Constant companionship — they cannot be left alone for more than 2–3 hours a day

We require proof of training commitment and will not adopt to homes where puppies will be left alone for extended periods. These pups deserve the best start in life, and we’re here to make sure they get it.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this precious boy—and you’re up for the joyful challenge of raising a puppy—apply today!

If interested in Slinky, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at Info.FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.

VETTING NOTE: Fetching Hearts Rescue completely vets our dogs thoroughly to the best of our knowledge based on communication with our Southern Vets. If anything is brought to our attention, we treat the dog. After adopting the dog, you will be responsible for following up with all vetting going forward.

HEARTWORM NOTE: Dogs who were treated for Heartworm can test positive up to 4-6 months after last treatment. All dogs are immediately put on Heartguard/Ivermectin following the treatment to kill the Heartworm larvae. All dogs should be re-tested after 5-6 months from the last Heartworm treatment.
