Story
Porsche is about 4 years old. She loves people, isn’t afraid of strangers, loves kids, maybe a bit rough for small children. She doesn’t do well with other dogs, she doesn’t mind cats. Super high energy, we unfortunately don’t have time to help her get that energy out. She does great in the house. I love her to death and we have 2 other dogs and she isn’t doing well with them. She would do best with someone that is home with her more often than we are. She is great on walks and off leash adventures.

Story
🐾 Loving 1-year-old pup looking for her forever family. This sweet, affectionate girl is officially ready to find her forever home! Just over a year old (born Memorial Day weekend 2025), she is past the hectic newborn puppy stage and is turning into an amazing companion. A Total Lovebug: She is incredibly affectionate and thrives on human attention. While she currently lives with her two sisters (who are also looking for homes!), she would absolutely shine as an "only child" where she can soak up all the love and spotlights. Crate Trained: She handles her crate like a pro and happily sleeps through the night in it. Playful & Active: She loves her toys and enjoys spending plenty of daily free time running and playing in the backyard. If you are looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and sweet companion to complete your family, she is ready to meet you!

Story
Meet this sweet, adorable little girl! 💕🐾 KIWI 🥝 13 weeks Chihuahua mix When she first came into foster care, she was shy, unsure, and still trying to figure out this big world around her. But WOW—has she thrived! She has blossomed into a confident, brave, loving, and incredibly sweet little girl with the heart of a lion. 🦁💗 She absolutely LOVES kisses—lots and lots of kisses—and she’s just as happy to give them right back! 😘 She is actually much smaller than she looks in her pictures, but don’t let her tiny size fool you. This little girl has a huge personality and an even bigger heart. She loves to play, has plenty of puppy energy, and would do wonderfully in a home with another friendly adult dog who can show her the ropes. Having a well-socialized adult dog around can help a young puppy continue learning good manners, build confidence, stay socialized, and understand how to navigate the world around her. A playful canine big brother or sister would be an amazing role model and companion for her! 🐶❤️🐶 Like all puppies, she is still learning and will need a patient, loving, and understanding family willing to guide her through puppyhood with consistency, training, structure, and lots of love. And a little warning for families with children: she is currently in the teething stage, which means those tiny puppy teeth are VERY sharp! 🦈😂 Children and puppies should always be closely supervised while she learns appropriate play and bite inhibition. It’s truly hard to put into words just how amazing this little girl is—you may just have to find out for yourself. If you feel like your life could use a little more love, a little more joy, and a whole lot more puppy kisses, and you’re ready to welcome an adorable puppy into your forever home, please apply with Paws Patrol LV. 🐾💕 Remember, puppies need time to adjust. They need patience, guidance, training, understanding, and unconditional love as they learn about this big world. Most importantly, they are a lifelong commitment—not a temporary convenience. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc9IlMzlBqTTpXA9n5-AGb7XoE2Ru0ypKCP1q3VjNRGWloOQ/viewform
