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
Evie is a fun-loving 1-year-old girl with a playful spirit and a heart full of love! She’s easy to leash and walk, making her a great companion for daily strolls and adventures.Evie is a smart pup who already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “down,” and she loves showing off her skills—especially if treats are involved (which she takes very gently!). She also enjoys playtime with toys and even knows “drop it,” making games with her both fun and easy.She’s very tolerant and allows full-body handling, including her ears, tail, and paws, which is a great trait for grooming and everyday care. Evie absolutely loves attention and may show her excitement by jumping up to say hello, but with consistency, she’ll continue to improve her manners.When it comes to other dogs, Evie may take a little time to warm up. She would likely do best with a calm, compatible dog she can peacefully coexist with. She originally came to the shelter alongside a male dog, so she may enjoy having a canine companion with the right match.Evie is a sweet, playful girl who’s ready to bring joy, energy, and lots of love into her forever home.

Story
Harley Quinn is a lively, energetic 2.5-year-old girl who’s looking for an active and structured home that can keep up with her zest for life! She knows “sit,” loves treats, and enjoys playing with toys, making her a fun and engaging companion for the right family.She’s easy to leash, though she does pull, and she can get mouthy and jumpy when excited—so she would do best in a home with no children under 12 and people who are ready to provide consistent training and guidance.Harley Quinn thrives on exercise and activity. She’s happiest when she has plenty of outlets to burn off her energy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or structured activities. With the right home, she’ll be a loyal, loving, and playful companion.If you’re ready for a high-energy buddy who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with fun, Harley Quinn could be the perfect match!
