My story

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

Sitter needed: 12/30/25 - 01/07/26

Meet Apricot! This young pup is gentle, playful, and ready to blossom in a loving, patient home. Despite a tough start in life, Apricot is resilient and already showing how brave she is. Initially shy with new people, she’s quickly warming up and loves being close to her foster—following them everywhere!

Apricot enjoys playful games like chasing balls and tug-of-war, and she has fun running in the yard with her littermate. She’s making great strides with house training and is learning to walk on a leash, responding well to gentle encouragement. Apricot finds comfort in her crate, where she sleeps peacefully at night and can retreat during the day when she needs a little security.

Apricot would thrive in a calm, patient home (preferably without kitties) where she can build trust, and show off her playful, loving personality. She’s a resilient little pup ready to find her forever family!
