My story

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

Meet Rhythm — a baby whose entire brand is “soft background music for your life.” 🎶

Rhythm spends her days perfecting the art of snoozing, strategically placing herself in the coziest possible location, and melting into you like she’s trying to rejoin the womb out of sheer comfort. She doesn’t demand attention — she simply exists softly and somehow convinces you to sit still longer than you planned.
Her vibe is peaceful. Her energy level is “Sunday morning with nowhere to be.” Her idea of chaos is adjusting her sleeping position by three inches. She’s the kind of puppy who makes you forget puppies are usually feral. In short: Rhythm is a gentle, sweet, snuggly little soul who shows up, curls in, and makes your house feel quieter just by being there. If you’ve ever wanted a puppy who feels more like a weighted blanket with feelings — congratulations, you’ve found her. 🐾💤

Rhythm came to us alongside her mama, Harmoney, and her brother Blues when she was just a couple days old after the little family found themselves in a shelter. Now fast forward to today: Rhythm is a 6-week-old, 7-pound female Border Collie mix, and while we would love to confidently list off the rest of her breeds and sound very official and science-y… we cannot. Dad remains an unsolved mystery. A ghost. A question mark. A strong “we’ll never know” situation. What we can tell you is that he clearly contributed to those striking eyes, that wildly unique coat coloring, and a personality that feels suspiciously well-balanced for a puppy. And here’s the fun part: Rhythm’s looks are changing constantly. If you adopt her, you’ll get to enjoy the daily game of “What breed does she look like today?” — a thrilling pastime that requires zero skill, produces zero correct answers, and is guaranteed to spark group texts and unsolicited opinions from strangers.

Rhythm’s social résumé is short, but honestly? It’s already impressive for someone who still qualifies as a potato. When it comes to other dogs, she’s currently living with her mom and brother and has decided this arrangement is perfectly acceptable. No drama. No protests. No “this is my emotional support toy, don’t touch it” energy. She’s comfortable, content, and very much on board with the whole family living situation. As for kids, Rhythm is still extremely young, but her vibe is gentle, sweet, and very “please hold me like a baby and whisper nice things.” With proper introductions and respectful tiny humans, she would likely do just fine — especially if raised alongside them and not treated like a chew toy with legs. Cats, on the other hand, remain a theoretical concept. Based on her gentle nature, she doesn’t give off strong “chase the cat like it owes me money” energy, but as with all things baby-related, proper introductions and supervision will be key. Right now, cats exist somewhere between folklore and bedtime stories in her world. In summary: Rhythm is polite with dogs, neutral on cats due to lack of evidence, and soft enough in temperament that she should do well with kids who understand that puppies are friends, not jungle gyms.

If we’re rating Rhythm’s energy level, she clocks in at a solid 2 out of 10. This is a puppy who wakes up, stretches once, and then seriously considers whether being awake is even worth it. Her hobbies include napping, cuddling, relocating her nap spot for optimal comfort, and then immediately napping again. Personality-wise, Rhythm is calm, quiet, and deeply snuggly — the kind of puppy who makes you forget puppies are usually feral. She has a gentle, soothing presence that somehow lowers the volume in the room just by existing. She doesn’t demand attention; she politely accepts it and then melts into you like a weighted blanket with feelings. However — and this is the part where we gently clear our throats and adjust our glasses — Rhythm is only six weeks old. So if you’re planning to adopt her based solely on the assumption that she will forever remain this calm, sleepy, angelic little creature… we’d like to remind you that puppies are essentially living plot twists. Her personality will continue to evolve as she gets older, gains confidence, and discovers exciting new concepts like “running,” “having opinions,” and “I can reach that now.” Today’s peaceful loaf may eventually become tomorrow’s curious explorer who suddenly realizes legs are for more than waddling to the food bowl.

Now the fine print....

Right now, Rhythm is six weeks old and under the impression that life’s primary purpose is naps, snacks, and being gently held like a very important burrito. This will not always be the case. One day, she will realize she has legs. Opinions will follow. Your job is to make sure those opinions don’t include “I scream at everything” or “I have never heard of potty training.” Potty training? That’s you. Rhythm did not arrive with a user manual or an internal GPS pointing her to the yard. She’s a baby. She will need patience, consistency, and a human who understands that accidents are part of the process. Socialization? Also you. Rhythm needs to meet kind humans, respectful dogs, new environments, weird noises, and objects that definitely did nothing wrong (looking at you, trash cans). The goal is to help her grow into a confident dog who handles the world with calm curiosity instead of panic or chaos. Training? Once again, congratulations — that’s your department. Rhythm is not studying obedience theory in her spare time. She is a blank notebook. A soft sponge. A very cute work in progress. With gentle guidance, structure, and positive reinforcement, she has all the potential to become the kind of dog who makes people say, “Wow, she’s so chill, I wish my dog was this calm"

If your heart is doing that little thump thing right now, congratulations — that’s the Rhythm Effect. The next step is not manifesting, commenting “interested,” or staring at her photos like that’s legally binding. You need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can pass it along to her foster family, who are currently doing an excellent job of keeping her warm, loved, and impossibly cozy.

Important logistics moment: Rhythm’s future family will need to pick her up in Skiatook, OK. She does not teleport. She does not come with delivery. She will be waiting there patiently, probably napping, while you make good choices and drive to meet her.

Adopt Rhythm if you’re ready for soft snuggles, gentle puppy moments, and the joy of watching a tiny soul grow into something wonderful. Fill out the app. Do the thing. Come get your peaceful little loaf. She’s ready when you are. 🐾💤

One last (very important) detail before you sprint to the application like a responsible adult: Rhythm can’t leave just yet. This cozy little lady will be ready to head to her forever home around the weekend of the 7th (February) — no sooner.
