Story
Hi, I’m Persephone! I’m a white 20+ pound Pit mix puppy with the most adorable black speckles on my ears, and my foster mom Melissa says I’m going to grow into a proud 60-pound lap dog one day. I was born around June 27, 2026, which means I'm just a little baby, but I already have a massive heart and a lot of love to give. My absolute favorite thing in the world is making new friends. Seriously, I think cats, dogs, and kids are all the greatest things ever, and I'm ready to fit right into just about any family. I'm a brave girl who is already all caught up on my puppy vaccines, and I'll get my spay surgery when I'm just a little bit bigger. Right now, I'm working really hard on my house training and crate training. It's still a work in progress, but I promise I'm trying my best to learn the house rules! I'm looking for a forever family to play, cuddle, and grow up with. Is that you?

Story
Hi there! I'm Aphrodite, a 16-pound Pit mix puppy with big dreams of growing into a 60-pound lap dog! I was born around June 27, 2026, and my foster mom says I have the prettiest short black coat with the coolest black and white speckle markings you've ever seen.I am a total people-pleaser and a social butterfly. Want to play with other dogs? I'm in! Have cats? We can be best buds! Kids to run around with? They are my absolute favorite! I'm already fully up to date on my puppy shots, and I'll get spayed once I'm a little bit bigger.Right now, I'm working really hard on my "big girl" skills. House training and crate training are works in progress, but I'm getting smarter every day—especially if you have yummy treats! I can't wait to find a family to love, grow up with, and cuddle forever.
