These pups are 8 weeks now and ready to find their happily ever after! Mom was a short haired, medium, mixed breed dog. We assume that her puppies will look similar to her. Mom had a very good temperament and her puppies seem to be good natured as well!

Story
Denver came in as a stray back in April and has been keeping everyone entertained ever since. Denver is neutered, fully vetted, and ready to find his forever home.He’s a total toy enthusiast and treat connoisseur, and he already knows several tricks—sit, shake (with BOTH paws, thank you very much), and lay down. But don’t let his smarts fool you… Denver is also the guy doing cannonballs in the water bowl because he absolutely LOVES water!Give him a baby pool and you’ll see his true personality shine—splashing, playing, and living his best life. Baths are basically a bonus activity for him, because if there’s water involved, Denver is all in!Denver is sweet, affectionate, and dog-friendly, but he does have a rough-and-tumble play style paired with a big heart. Because of his excitement and strength, he would do best in a home with children over the age of 12.He has done well in a foster home with college-aged kids and would thrive with either a playful, silly dog or a calmer companion who can coexist comfortably. A dog meet-and-greet will be required to ensure the best match.Denver has been waiting far too long for his forever playmate—could that be you?

Story
This is what a Short-Term Foster Had to Say About Jinx *`Here is what I observed with Jinx: he rode well in the car (strapped in), had no leash biting, and easily released the slip lead when he wanted to go outside. He is very playful in the yard, a little mouthy but gentle and easily corrected. He loves to snuggle and gently nibble on hair and ears.By the second day, he was more relaxed and still corrected easily when mouthing hands. He has a lot of energy and would do well in a home that is active or has another playful dog. He let me take a bully stick out of his mouth with ease, grazes his food, and had only one small pee accident in the first 30 minutes. He laid calmly in his crate when I had to leave, with no chewing on blankets.During walks, he ignored screaming kids, bikes, and other small dogs, though he was very interested in squirrels. He did not try to jump fences and responded well when corrected for jumping on counters. Overall, in the short time I had him, Jinx was really good and I hated to take him back.`*

Story
Bean is a fun, affectionate dog with a medium to high energy level and a love for attention. He enjoys being pet and handled all over and, with a little encouragement, even did well during a bath.Bean has spent time with kids (ages 10 & 12) and loved soaking up all the attention from them. He can be a bit hyper and jumpy when excited, so a home prepared to work on manners would be a great fit.He’s still learning the basics and doesn’t consistently follow commands yet, but he’s full of potential. Bean is very enthusiastic with treats and can be a little “sharky,” so care should be taken with fingers.Bean rides well and will hop right into the car, though securing him is recommended.He is dog meet-and-greet and would do best with a more submissive, coexisting dog.Bean would thrive in an active home ready to help him channel his energy and continue his training.

Story
Aero is a very calm, gentle dog with a laid-back personality. He takes treats very softly and does not appear to know any basic commands yet. When first meeting him, he was nervous and timid, but he allowed full-body handling without any signs of aggression. He may pull his paws away when they’re handled, but does not escalate beyond that.Aero is very observant of his surroundings and spent much of his time sniffing and exploring his environment. He showed some interest in toys, but only when another dog (Rae) was engaging with them—he didn’t play independently.While affection doesn’t seem to be his top priority, he tolerates petting well and especially enjoys chest, belly, and butt scratches. Despite his initial shyness, he is very cuddly and has a relaxed, “lazy” demeanor.Aero would do best with a calm, easygoing dog companion, and a dog meet-and-greet will be required to ensure a good match.
