Story
Hi, my name is Percival! I am an Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix with one brown eye, one blue eye, and a personality that is all my own. I am sweet and loving, but I also do things on my own terms — I am independent like that. 😎 I get along great with other dogs and would love an active home where I can run, explore, and keep up with whatever adventure comes next. I was born January 27, 2026. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $75. Submit an inquiry at www.ThePuppyMamma.com!

Story
Hello, unfortunately we need to rehome our 2 year old pure bred neutered male American Akita. He has recently became reactive around children and we cannot take the risk any longer. I will be vetting any potential new parents. He is a very good dog and very protective. Would make a great protector for a single person or a home with only adults. Once he gets to know you he is loving and will protect you with his life. We are trying to give him the best possible chance and unfortunately our home is no longer the best place for him. There is a $100 rehoming fee and I will want to make sure the new home will be a good fit. Prior experience with large dominant breeds is an absolute must and prior experience with Akitas would be awesome. He does well with female dogs but male dogs would not be advised around him.

Story
Hi, I'm Bidziil — and my name means "he is strong" in Navajo. I like to think I live up to it. I'm a Lab/Boxer mix born on 5/10/26, and I am full of energy, confidence, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for pretty much everything. I love to run, play, and dive headfirst into whatever comes next. Life is an adventure and I intend to treat it that way. If you're looking for a bold, playful, spirited boy who will keep you on your toes and make every day more fun than the last — I'm your guy. I've been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and I'm ready to find my people. Adoption fee is $350. Submit an inquiry at ThePuppyMamma.com — I'll be ready when you are. 🖤

I have a lot of energy and a lot of personality and I am not going to apologize for either.

Story
Hi, I'm Nizhoni — and fair warning, I am a lot. A lot of energy, a lot of personality, and a whole lot of love packed into one small black puppy who absolutely refuses to sit still. My name means "beautiful" in Navajo, and I think that smile of mine makes a pretty convincing case. I'm a Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix with a zest for life that is truly unmatched — but here's my secret: the moment someone picks me up, I turn into the world's greatest snuggle bug. I love being held, I love being close to my people, and I will remind you of that every chance I get. I'm looking for a home that can keep up with my puppy energy and still make time to hold me at the end of the day. Is that you? I've been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and I'm ready to go home. Adoption fee is $350. Submit an inquiry at ThePuppyMamma.com — I'll be here, probably running circles until you do. 🖤

Story
My name is Tiara, and I come with a tricolor coat, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for life. I’m a Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix born 2/21/26, and I bring the best of both breeds to the table — the Lab’s sunny, people-loving personality and the Beagle’s curious, playful spirit. I love to play, I love to explore, and I’m pretty much always ready for whatever adventure comes next. If you’re looking for a fun, lively companion with a face that’s impossible not to smile at, I’d love to be your girl. I’ve been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $350.
