Story
Hi, I’m Bird! 🐦🐾 I’m an 11-month-old Lab/Pug mix, around 30 pounds, and I may be short and compact, but I have a BIG personality! I’m a super energetic girl who absolutely LOVES to play, run around, and have fun. Once I get some of that energy out, though, I’m just as happy cuddling up and soaking in all the love you’ll give me. ❤️ I’m already potty trained and I know how to sit! I’m still young, so I’d love a family who will keep working with me, play with me, and give me plenty of attention. My mom was a purebred Lab and my dad was a neighborhood Pug—so I’m definitely a unique little mix! 😂 A family took me in when I needed somewhere to go and tried to find me a home, but when their landlord wouldn’t allow me to stay, I came here to find my forever family. More than anything, I just want someone to play with, cuddle with, and LOVE. I have so much personality and affection packed into this little body—I’m just waiting for someone to choose me! 🥹❤️

Story
Hi, I'm Bear, a striking 3-year-old black and white Mastiff mix who's ready to steal your heart! 🐾 I'm a big guy at 88 pounds with an even bigger personality—affectionate, loyal, and playful, with smarts to match. I'm already neutered and housetrained, so I'm set up for success in my forever home, and I do wonderfully with kids. I'd thrive best as your one and only pup (no other dogs or cats for me), but in a loving family like that, I'll be your devoted companion. My adoption fee is free, so come meet this cuddly giant and let's start our adventure together! 💕Apply on havenandheartrescue.org
