Story
Introducing sweet Mable! Mable is a bright, happy puppy with an outgoing personality and a whole lot of love to give. She is energetic, playful, and ready to make new friends wherever she goes. Mable enjoys frolicking around the yard or cuddling up after a busy day. Mable adores people, thrives on attention, and brings joy wherever she goes. Mable is currently being treated for demodex, a common skin condition that is not contagious and is very treatable. She is responding well to treatment and should be totally healed soon. This doesn’t slow her down one bit, and she’s still her loving, joyful self. Like all puppies, Mable will need basic puppy training, including learning manners, routines, and confidence-building. She’s eager to please and will do best with a patient adopter who uses positive reinforcement and understands that puppies are still figuring out the world. Mable would be a perfect match for a home looking for a fun, affectionate companion to grow up with. Please fill out an adoption application for Mable today!

Meet the Bridgertons. • At 10 weeks, they are entering a prime socialization window.

In case of inclement weather check our hours & events page the morning of the event to see if any changes have been made to time/location/date: https://pawsafe.org/events/ What a lineup! That sounds like a high-energy, high-intelligence household waiting to happen. Lab-Shepherd mixes (often called "Shepradors") are basically the "honor students" of the dog world—equally likely to learn a complex trick in five minutes or figure out exactly how to open the pantry door. At two months old, Nyx, Zeke, Jamill, Varrick, and Ardan are right at that "potato with legs" stage before the Shepherd legs really kick in. Meet the Crew Since you’ve given them such distinct names, they already sound like they have big personalities: • The Sophisticates: Ardan and Varrick sound like they should be wearing tiny bowties and discussing philosophy. • The Powerhouses: Nyx and Zeke sound like the ones who will be leading the pack during backyard sprints. • The Wildcard: Jamill sounds like the soulful one who will win you over with "the look" to get extra treats. ________________________________________ Why they make the best Valentines: • Unconditional Love: They won't care if you forgot to make dinner reservations. • Zero Judgment: They think your singing in the shower is Grammy-worthy. • The Best Cuddles: Though, at the rate Shepradors grow, your "lap dog" will be 70 lbs before you know it! It’s wonderful that they are already up to date on their vitals. Are you helping find them homes, or did you just add one (or five!) of these guys to your family?
