Story
Meet Happy, a pup whose name is both a promise and a personality trait. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people and may take a moment to decide that you are, in fact, not a supervillain. Once he gets comfortable, though, he warms up quickly and shows off his sweet, friendly side. Happy prefers to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the attention. If you are looking for a fun-loving companion with a big heart, Happy is ready to bring a little extra joy to your life. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 30.4 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
Meet Peppy! This enthusiastic bundle of joy did not get her name by chance! Peppy is an incredibly sweet, wiggly girl who has a most positive outlook on life despite a rough start. Her endless enthusiasm and `go, go, go` attitude keep us all smiling. She makes friends wherever she goes, and you won`t really have a say in the matter - you WILL be her friend. Her energetic personality makes her the perfect adventure buddy, and you can count on tons of nighttime cuddles when her day of activity is done. Peppy is an easily-excited young girl who is still learning her manners. She`s currently working on `four on the floor` for her habit of jumping up, and is also making progress with keeping her mouth to herself. To keep this high-energy lady`s boredom at bay, Peppy would benefit from both physical and mental enrichment. Puzzle feeders, Kongs, and daily training sessions that end with reward will keep her brain busy and out of trouble!As she`s working on growing into a cool, calm and collected pup, older kids may be a better fit for her future home to prevent any accidental knockouts! She came into our care with other dogs and might enjoy having another pup to play with! We`re not sure how she`d do with cats, though, so we recommend slow introductions.If you`ve been needing something positive in your life to put a little pep in your step, Peppy is 100%, without a doubt, your girl.Peppy is:- open to kids 12+ due to arousal- unknown with cats, slow intros required- open to dogs pending successful intro
