Story
Tuna Melt is settling in beautifully and showing everyone what a sweet little companion she is.She’s doing well around other dogs and has adjusted nicely. She’s very people oriented and absolutely a Velcro girl who loves to be close. Being picked up and carried? Yes, please. She’s happiest right by your side.She’s feeling much better after her dental surgery and her appetite is improving. She’s eating softened kibble and especially enjoys it with a little chicken, cheese, or hot dog on top.Tuna Melt loves cozy spots and can often be found curled up in a dog bed. She’s doing great going potty outside with no accidents in the house. While she’ll explore the yard, she has made it very clear that snow is not her thing.Tuna Melt is currently on medical hold awaiting surgery at UC Davis to repair her broken jaw. Her procedure is scheduled in about six weeks, and we expect her to be released for adoption in April once she has fully healed.She’s sweet, loyal, and blossoming more every day. Stay tuned as this little girl continues her journey.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

She loves attention, enjoys being near her people, and is always up for a cuddle after a round of puppy zoomies.Turtle Soup is at the perfect age for training and socialization, and with a little guidance she’s going to grow into a wonderful companion. Her Shepherd side brings curiosity and intelligence, while her Pit Bull side brings sweetness and loyalty.Because she’s still a young puppy, Turtle Soup will need a family ready for all the fun (and work!) that comes with raising a pup — training, patience, and lots of love.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.
