Story
Stumpy is tiny, scruffy, and completely irresistible. She looks like a little storybook puppy come to life, with her adorable scruffy coat and her small, delicate frame—but what really makes her unforgettable is her incredibly sweet and loving personality. Stumpy is the kind of pup who just wants to be close, always ready for cuddles, always soaking up affection like it’s her favorite thing in the world. She may be small, but her heart is huge. Stumpy has a gentle, loving nature and a soft way about her that makes everyone instantly fall for her. She enjoys playtime, especially with toys or other gentle pups, but she’s not overly wild—she prefers sweet, happy moments and lots of snuggles. She would be perfectly content curling up in your lap, feeling safe and loved. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/Ud_wjpnRVxM?si=TvPfD3cL1tjlkw6x At just about 5 months old, Stumpy is still very much a baby, and she’s looking for a forever home where she can grow up surrounded by love and care. Her tiny size and scruffy cuteness make her extra special, but it’s her affectionate, tender personality that truly makes her shine. She’s going to be the most devoted little companion for someone who wants a soft, cuddly best friend. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e2451f361f9b07d104173a Questions?

Story
Bacca is a 2.5 month old Cairn Terrier mix with the perfect blend of scruffy charm and playful energy. With a Blue Heeler dad and a 10 pound Cairn Terrier mix mom, he’s expected to stay on the smaller side but brings a big personality wherever he goes. Bacca and his sibling were found on the side of the road, but you’d never guess it from his happy, loving spirit. He’s curious, smart, and already showing that loyal Heeler side, while still being a cuddly little terrier who loves attention. Bacca enjoys playing, exploring, and then crashing in your lap when he’s worn out. He would do great in a home ready for a fun, affectionate puppy that will grow into a devoted companion. Bacca is being fostered in TX but can be transported after adoption.
