Story
This jumping bean with the amazing eyes is ELI! His sister and him were dumped and taken in by a good Samaritan who contacted us. They came to us starved for attention and love. While high energy he is quick to settle down and is quickly learning basic commands and manners. He loves to be loved and is a snuggle bunny! He is quite bonded with his sister. We would love to see them go together but for the right home would consider separating them.

Story
They say big things come in small packages and that's little Cate! Her brother and her were dumped and taken in by a good Samaritan who contacted us. They came to us starved for attention and love. We believe she was either hit by a car or struck in the head. Her skull is a tad bit misshapen BUT the good news is her head has healed and there is no permanent brain injury. Despite whatever she's been through, this little munchkin is personality galore and the sweetest, cuddliest pup you will ever meet. It does take her a bit to warm up to new people. She loves to be held like she's a toddler or snuggle into your lap. She is quite bonded with her brother. We would love to see them go together but for the right home would consider separating them Ready to make this adorable pup part of your family?
