Story
Meet Biggie! He's a sweet, goofy dog with a big personality to match his name. Biggie is a classic goofball who brings smiles just by being himself and doesn't take life too seriously. If you're looking for a fun, happy presence, Biggie fits the bill. He's recommended for a home without other dogs at this time. Primary Color: Chocolate Merle Weight: 75.6 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Malibu comes from a chaotic home life- and hopes to relax a bit in the future. She is experienced living among many other animals, but as she ages, she is less tolerant of shenanigans. She is super social, enjoys affection, and still likes to play! If Malibu is considered for a multi-dog household, we recommend a mellow, like-sized companion, and require a meet at the shelter prior to adoption. Her smile will brighten your days! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 52.4 Age: 8yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Meet Cupcake! Cupcake is a 2.5-month-old black pittie puppy with a bigger splash of white on her chest—making her just as easy to tell apart as she is to fall in love with. She has an almost identical twin sister, Cheesecake, who is also available for adoption. Cupcake is the slightly bigger of the two, and we expect both girls to grow into happy, medium-sized pups. She’s doing wonderfully with other dogs, is comfortable in her crate, and is learning the ropes of house training. Cupcake is playful, affectionate, and full of that irresistible puppy charm that makes every day brighter. Cupcake (and Cheesecake!) will be at our adoption event this Sunday. While we don’t do same-day adoptions, you can get a head start by submitting an application ahead of time. Apply now at eapl.com Come meet Cupcake and see if this sweet girl is meant to be part of your family! Her adoption fee is $375 January 21, 2026, 8:32 pm
