I'm Mirage, and I've been told my ears tend to steal the show! I'm a Labrador Retriever and Blue Heeler mix born on 5/27/26, with a gorgeous blue/grey coat, bright white toes, and a sweet chest marking that makes me easy to spot in a crowd. I'm still young and growing into my personality, but one thing is certain — I am absolutely one of a kind. I've been spayed, am up to date on my vaccines, and have been microchipped.

Story
Lilly is our silly, sweet girl. She spent her first two years up in the White Mountains on an acre of land, so she loves to run. But she loves to relax and cuddle. Her and her sister, Nala (who is also up for adoption), are both the perfect mix of laid back, cuddly, and fun. If one of my kids (or I) are crying, she goes to comfort them. I personally appreciate how intimidating she looks to strangers, but really, she'll just lick them and will find a friend in anyone. She loves to chew on her toys, take naps, and cuddle. She's friendly with cats, dogs, kids, and anyone she meets. She was born in February of 2024, is spayed, but needs updated shots. I started working full-time and can't spend enough time with her. I hate that we can't keep her, but she deserves better.

Story
I'm Blaze, and yes — these ears are real! I'm a German Shepherd and Border Collie mix born on 5/27/26, dressed in a classic black and tan coat with a sweet white chest marking. I'm alert, curious, and always ready for whatever comes next. If you're looking for a fun, energetic companion to grow with, I might just be your guy. I've been neutered, am up to date on my vaccines, and have been microchipped. My adoption fee is $150. To submit an inquiry, visit www.ThePuppyMamma.com.

Story
We adopted Ellie from a shelter in 2020, and she has been such a sweet and lovable part of our family ever since. At 6 years old, she is still a big, goofy puppy at heart! Ellie is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and energetic. She loves being around people and gets along wonderfully with our other dog and our children—although she doesn’t always realize just how big she is! Unfortunately, Ellie does not do well with cats. We have had to keep her separated from our cats, and maintaining those boundaries has become increasingly difficult for our family. As much as it breaks our hearts to make this decision, we know that Ellie deserves a home where she can have the freedom, attention, and quality of life she deserves rather than spending too much time in her kennel. We are looking for a loving home for Ellie with someone who does not have cats and who can give her the time, attention, and exercise she needs to thrive. She would absolutely love a fenced yard where she can run and play.

Hi, I'm Squirt! You can't miss me — I've got a bold black patch around one eye and a black-tipped tail that make me easy to spot.
