Story

Miss Lottie-The Lotsa Love Pup Some puppies are born into loving arms. Others have to fight their way toward them. Sweet Miss Lottie was found alongside her mama on the side of a busy, incredibly dangerous road in Puerto Rico. We may never know how she ended up there or what she endured before she was rescued—but we do know this little girl is a fighter. At just four months old, Lottie has already faced more than any puppy should. She bravely beat parvo, and somehow, through it all, she never lost her capacity to love. Now she is waiting for the chapter she deserves: a forever home. Lottie is a beautiful 14-pound Mini Pin/Labrador mix with the sweetest soul. She is vaccinated and loves other dogs. She does well with cats and children, too. She can be a little shy when she first meets you, but please… give her a little time - because once Lottie decides you're safe, something magical happens. She warms up! She trusts you!! And then she becomes your very best friend!!! 🥹❤️ She has SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE. She is a strong, gentle, incredibly sweet girl who has already fought so hard for her life. Now she shouldn't have to fight anymore. She deserves a soft bed. She deserves a family who will be patient while she finds her confidence. She deserves someone who will show her that people can be kind. She deserves to grow up knowing that she is safe, cherished, and home. Miss Lottie is ready to leave her difficult past behind and begin the beautiful life she was always meant to have. Please share her story. Sometimes one share is all it takes to connect a deserving dog with the person who has been waiting for her. 💕

Story

Teal is looking for her forever home. She’s high energy and crate trained and would thrive in an active household that can provide her with plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation and outdoor time. Active singles and families with older, dog-savvy children are a better fit for this little miss. She’s got all the Pomsky quirks; smart, ‘vocal’ when playing and loyal. Her family needs to understand her energy, so walks, hikes and runs are essential to her routine. A secure fenced-in yard is a huge plus. She is crate and house trained but because she’s young she needs additional training (… coprophagia). She’s affectionate but still doesn’t realize the impact her energy has on her playfulness. There is a belief that Teal is magical… All in all in all she’s wonderful little girl who’s looking to be loved and to give it right back. Serious inquiries only, please.

Story

Meet Cici, Eumy’s tiny little sister and the smallest of all 12 siblings. At 2 months old, she weighs just 2.5 lbs — but this teeny girl has an enormous amount of love to give. Cici and her 11 siblings were found tucked into the rocks of a beach in Puerto Rico, trapped inside a little beach cave with the tide coming in. Rescuers climbed down into the rocks and pulled the babies out one by one before the water could reach them. Cici was the littlest of them all. And this girl is an absolute human lover. Cici loves, loves, LOVES people and would happily spend her entire day being carried around in someone’s arms. She is incredibly sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and just wants to be as close to her humans as physically possible. If there is an available lap, Cici plans on being in it. Based on her size now, our vet’s best guess is that Cici will stay under 25 lbs fully grown, but with rescue puppies, adult size is always a bit of a mystery! Cici is currently in Puerto Rico and is already on the docket to head stateside to a foster home — unless her forever family finds her first! Cici was almost washed away before her life had even begun. Now all this tiny girl wants is exactly what she loves most: a human to hold her close and never let her go.

Story

Lucy – The Loyal Lovebug Meet Lucy — The Loyal Lovebug - Who Never Gave Up on Her Babies Some stories break your heart... and then there are stories like Lucy’s — stories that remind us just how incredibly strong a mother’s love can be. Lucy was dumped at a gas station in Puerto Rico with her puppies, left to fend for herself and her babies in terrible circumstances. She had every reason to give up, but she didn’t. Somehow, through hunger, fear, and uncertainty, this sweet mama managed to keep her puppies alive until help finally arrived. Her babies have now found their forever homes, and after giving everything she had to them, it’s finally Lucy’s turn. Lucy is estimated to be 3–4 years old, and she is an absolute sweetheart. She is playful, loving, loyal, and has a wonderful temperament. She gets along well with other dogs and has so much love left to give. Imagine what she must have been through... and yet Lucy still chooses to trust. She still wants to play. She still loves. She still believes that someone will come for her. She spent her hardest days protecting her babies. Now she needs someone to protect her. Lucy deserves a soft bed, a safe home, a family who will never abandon her, and the chance to finally experience the life she should have had all along. Lucy is ready to be someone’s loyal best friend. She just needs someone to make her their forever. Could you be the person Lucy has been waiting for?

Cinnamon Sugar - The Sweetest

Story

SOS!! Cinnamon Sugar SOS - - she was only given 1 month of foster. Meet Cinnamon Sugar, a 2–3-year-old, 50-lb sweetheart who has spent far too long simply trying to survive after someone seemingly left her behind. Everything about Cinnamon tells us she was once someone’s dog. She is incredibly well-behaved, potty trained in the yard, wonderful on a leash, perfect in the car, and knows exactly how to live alongside people. At some point, the family she trusted disappeared, leaving this incredibly sweet girl to fend for herself. Cinnamon stayed around the same neighborhood, seemingly believing it was still her home. But life there became increasingly dangerous. Feral street pack dogs bullied and chased her, neighbors no longer wanted her around, and recently a loose dog even attacked her. Somehow, through all of it, Cinnamon remained gentle, trusting, and desperate for affection. Thankfully, one kind neighbor has offered Cinnamon a safe foster home — but only for one month. We now have a small window to find this deserving girl the forever family she has been waiting for. Cinnamon is spayed, vaccinated, 4DX negative, fully vetted, and up to date on preventatives. She loves other dogs, has lived peacefully around cats, and is truly the kind of easy, loving companion who just wants to belong. Cinnamon is currently in Puerto Rico, but she can be adopted anywhere in the U.S. Like all of our Puerto Rico rescues, we will arrange her flight off the island to her adoptive family, and her transport is included in her adoption fee. Someone may have abandoned Cinnamon once, but she never stopped believing in people. Now she has one month of safety while we find the person who will finally show her that this time, she is home forever.
