Story
Hi, I’m Decker — professional zoomie runner, snack enthusiast, and champion snuggler!
Decker is a five-month-old, 12-pound puppy with the sweetest soul and the biggest personality. Known as Little One in his foster home, he greets the people he loves with full-body wiggles and nonstop enthusiasm.
Decker has classic little brother energy, especially with his littermate and best friend, Helm. Together they sprint, wrestle, and play for hours, with Decker often providing a soundtrack of adorable “gremlin” noises when playtime gets exciting (something he’s learning to tone down). While he absolutely adores Helm, Decker is also a sweet boy who enjoys time with his human.
Decker can be shy with people at first, but he warms up quickly once he gets to know them. He’s playful with other dogs, especially those who enjoy puppy energy. If another dog barks at him, he may bark back — confident little guy who is overall friendly and playful.
Decker’s favorite things include chew sticks, toys, and anything he can gnaw on 🦴, peanut butter Kong treats, food or snacks in general — especially anything others are eating, zoomies and backyard sprints, wrestling and playtime, belly rubs, being picked up, and cozy morning snuggles.
Decker is food-motivated and a great eater who sometimes needs a little help getting food out of the bowl because he’s little and not used to wet food and kibble. He’s also doing great with potty training— no accidents as long as he gets frequent, consistent potty breaks. He already understands “no,” listens well, and is eager to learn.
Visually, Decker has a soft black-and-white coat, expressive eyes, and the sweetest spotted puppy belly that’s always ready for belly rubs. He is affectionate, playful, and loving — a puppy who wants to be close to his people and will flourish in a home with another dog. "

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:
✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.
✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).
✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.
The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.
Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.
Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
