Story
Meet Blackey! This adorable puppy is always on the go and ready for whatever fun comes next. He has quite possibly the cutest smile of the bunch, and it’s hard not to smile right back at him! Blackey loves people and is happiest when he gets to spend time with his humans. He’s affectionate, playful, and full of typical puppy energy. He loves running around and playing with his brothers, and there’s always something exciting happening when Blackey is around. Like any puppy, Blackey is still learning and working on his crate and potty training. With a consistent routine, he’ll continue making great progress as he learns what it means to be a big boy. Blackey would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a fun, affectionate puppy who is ready to fill their home with plenty of playtime, puppy antics, and that adorable smile!

Story
Meet Whitie! This handsome little guy may be the smallest, but he certainly has plenty of personality! Whitie is affectionate, playful, and loves spending time with people. He enjoys running around and playing with his brothers and has plenty of typical puppy energy to keep you entertained. Whitie has a little bit of sass when it comes to his brothers, so he is currently kenneled separately from them. And he does an excellent job in his kennel! He settles in nicely and is perfectly happy entertaining himself with his toys. Whitie is still working on his crate and potty training, but with a consistent routine, he’s well on his way to mastering both. He’s a sweet, playful puppy who would love a family ready to help him grow, learn, and become the best little dog he can be. If you’re looking for a fun-loving puppy with a little personality and just the right amount of sass, Whitie might be your guy!
