Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Spot and his siblings are growing a little more every day, and somehow they're getting even cuter! These tiny sweethearts are happy, playful, and absolutely irresistible. Since they don't have their mama, they're still a little too young to leave their siblings and need a bit more time before they're ready for their forever homes. Trust us—these pictures are adorable, but they're even tinier and cuter in person! It is hard to say the breed but they may be: Chihuahua/Bulldog/MinPin or Bull Terrier or all. We don't DNA test our pups. Sometimes adopters share DNA after adopting from a litter. Stay tuned for more updates on this precious trio, and get those applications ready. We have a feeling these little ones won't be available for long! born 5/5/26 Apply at projecthopearf.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 12, 2026, 10:53 pm
