Hi, I’m Sweet Potato. My name says everything you need to know about me. I’m super sweet and a little on the shy side. I play really well with my siblings but am a little more cautious around my bigger foster siblings. I also like playing in the pool and even just playing outside by myself, if I have a good squeaky toy to swing around. I do well with kids, my crate and the doggie door. As long as I have access, I’m good with going outside to go potty too.  In foster! Apply on our website if you’re interested in meeting me!

Story
My name is Shoofly Pie. I’m a fun adventurous pup who loves to play in the water. I’m a big fan of tennis balls and wrestling with my siblings. I do well with my foster siblings and get really excited when the neighbor kids come to see me. I’m still working on my potty training but am an expert at the doggie door. When I’m not playing, I’m a big fan of following my foster mom around, snuggling and belly rubs. I also sleep through the night, most nights and do well in my crateIn foster!

Story
I am merengue, I look like the cutest little wolf pup. I have lots of puppy energy and need something to keep me occupied or I can be a little mischievous and nibble on things around the house. I can be really sweet too! I love to be held or sit on my foster’s lap and snuggle. I get along great with kids, my siblings and my foster siblings. I like chasing them and playing in the water.  I also do well with my crate, the doggie door and sleeping through the night. I’m still working on my pottie training and am getting better everyday. In foster! Apply on our website if you’re interested in meeting me!
