Meet Pops – The Playful Brainiac Pops is a 2-year-old Beagle Hound mix, weighing around 60 pounds, and he’s ready to charm his way into your heart! We really have no clue how this sweet boy has not been adopted yet… he’s just that lovable. This boy is all about fun and games — tennis balls are his absolute favorite. He never turns down a good game of fetch! Pops is also an eager learner who loves engaging with his people, especially when treats are involved. Pops can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and a gentle touch, he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he’ll stick by your side like the loyal, loving companion he was meant to be. You may notice something unique about Pops — he has a cherry eye that was surgically corrected but has since relapsed. Our vet has examined him and assured us it’s purely cosmetic, just adding to his quirky charm. Pops is looking for a loving home where he can continue to build confidence, enjoy lots of playtime, and soak up all the affection he deserves. If you’re looking for a fun, devoted, and one-of-a-kind companion — Pops is your guy! Sponsored Adoption Fee!

At a perfect age for learning, bonding, and exploring the world, River is wonderfully suited for training, adventures, and all the experiences that make life with a young dog so special.

Thankfully those difficult days are behind him now, and River is ready to trade survival mode for the safe, loving life every puppy deserves. With his goofy charm, affectionate nature, and bright enthusiasm, River is looking for a home that will embrace his playful heart and give him all the love he’s been missing.
