Story
Hello! I'm Pippa, a 1-year-old Border Terrier with a sweet scruffy white and black coat and a heart full of love to give 🐾 I'm already spayed and ready for my forever home — I'm great with other dogs and kids, so I'll fit right into the action! I'm affectionate, friendly, and playful, with just enough silly energy to keep you laughing, and I'm smart as a whip too ❤️ I'm currently in the Paws In Prison program learning basic commands and good puppy manners. When I graduate, I will be crate trained, leash trained, and house trained... I will basically be perfect. I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on a monthly heartworm preventive.

Story
Dawson Doodlebear looks remarkably like a tiny bear cub who somehow wandered into a litter of puppies. With his fluffy coat, round little face, and delightfully sleepy expressions, he has an uncanny ability to make people stop whatever they're doing just to admire him. He is a happy little puppy with a gentle spirit and plenty of healthy curiosity. Every day brings something new to discover, and he's approaching it exactly the way a puppy should, with confidence, enthusiasm, and the occasional well-earned nap. Like all young puppies, he's still discovering exactly who he'll become, but he's already showing us exactly what healthy, happy puppyhood should look like. Go watch Dawson Doodlebear on YouTube, then come right back to read more. Watching a litter of puppies grow is one of life's greatest joys, and Dawson certainly does his part to make every moment a little cuter. If you've ever wondered what it might look like to wake a tiny bear cub from the world's coziest nap, you're in luck. One of the sweetest moments in his video is watching him slowly blink awake, stretch his tiny legs, and soak in the surroundings for a sec before checking on what fun might be going on he could join in. https://youtu.be/QMnBbq1BFhE Estimated to be around 1 month old, Dawson is being lovingly fostered, where he's receiving wonderful socialization and plenty of opportunities to grow into a well-rounded companion. He's healthy, playful, gentle, and thriving exactly as a puppy should, spending his days eating well, playing hard, and taking those wonderfully deep naps that growing puppies are famous for. Whoever welcomes Dawson home won't just be adopting an adorable puppy, they'll get the joy of watching this precious little "bear cub" grow into a lifelong best friend. Questions?

Story
Dylan Doozy seems determined to squeeze every possible minute out of puppyhood. While many of his siblings were happily drifting off into full-belly naps, Dylan often decided there was still plenty of playing left to do. Curious, playful, and wonderfully spunky, he's already showing the kind of joyful enthusiasm that makes puppies so much fun to be around. Go watch Dylan Doozy on YouTube, then come right back to read more. You'll quickly spot his playful spirit and see why he often voted for "just five more minutes" before finally giving in to nap time. https://youtu.be/QMnBbq1BFhE Estimated to be around 1 months old, Dylan is being raised in a loving foster home where he's healthy, social, and receiving a wonderful start in life. Like every young puppy, he'll continue learning as he grows, and he's ready to find the family who gets to enjoy every step of that journey. Ready to have Dylan bring his joy right home to you?

Story
A 27-Pound Shadow with a Pure Heart of Gold.Taxi is a charming little guy with a one-of-a-kind look—possibly a mix of Border Terrier and Pug, but whatever his “recipe,” the result is pretty perfect. Sturdy, scruffy, and full of soul, Taxi is ready to slide right into your life and make himself at home.Social & Sooo Well-Mannered• Gets along great with other dogs of all sizes. Check him out with his foster sibling: https://youtu.be/DnuzFkMKwyg & https://youtu.be/pjFvWui78L4 • Has shown he can do well with cats• Potty trained and walks nicely on leash—an easy addition to any homeYour Amazing SidekickTaxi isn’t just along for the ride—he wants to be part of everything you do:• Loves following you around the house like your personal assistant• Happy to “help” with chores and daily routines• Enjoys hanging out in the yard and supervising outdoor projects• Great in the car and always up for an adventure (big or small)Joey rides well in the car once settled, though he should be safely secured with a harness and tether, as he'd happily try to ride up front otherwise. He may need a few minutes to settle at the start of a trip.He walks best on a Gentle Leader, which has made a huge difference and prevents the coughing he experiences with a harness. He can still get excited and pull hard if he spots squirrels, rabbits, or other wildlife, as he has a high prey drive. A back-clip harness is used when he's tethered outside.Joey is playful and loves a game of fetch, though he can be a little mouthy during play and may try to grab the toy before it's thrown. His foster family has been working on this. He has a strong prey drive toward small animals, but despite not being formally cat-tested, he ignores the neighbor's outdoor cat when they cross paths. Joey loves spending time in a fenced yard but is a digger and a bit of an escape artist, so the fence should be secure and "Joey-proof."He forms strong bonds with everyone in the household and would do well in either a large or a small family. Because of his playful mouthiness, children around 6-8 years old would likely be the best fit.IMPORTANT: Although Joey is a very social dog, we've recently learned that doggie daycare is not a good fit for him. He isn't aggressive, but he barks almost nonstop, and it's clear the busy environment is stressful for him. If you'll regularly be away from home for long periods, please keep in mind that daycare is not a suitable option for Joey.
