Story
Calling all cuddlers! Graham is a loving, affectionate pup who adores his humans. He is not afraid to climb all over you to get his affection out. Think lots of hugs, kisses, and pets for this snuggle monster. Looking for a couch potato buddy? Graham is ready to report for duty! After short bouts of playtime, this medium energy pup will pass out in your lap for naps. His ideal home is with someone looking for a buddy to lounge with and wants to shower him with lots of love and attention. Graham is great with kids, and we suspect will also make a wonderful pup companion given his love for his mom and siblings. He is nailing potty training and is ready for a family to reward his good boy behavior with belly rubs. Will that be you? Apply to adopt Graham today!

Story
Mama Perdita is sweet, shy, and laid back. After giving birth to and caring for three pups (while only a pup herself!), Perdita has been thriving at Big Barn and is now ready for her forever home. Perdita is a little love bug who adores snuggles and belly rubs. This low energy lady will play pretty rambunctiously with her puppies, but once her humans are nearby, she just wants pets and snuggles. Perdita will thrive in a calm home where she can enjoy lap naps. She isn’t impressed by all the hustle and bustle of city life, which makes her the perfect candidate for a family looking for a quiet dog to fit in with their laid back neighborhood. While she hasn’t been cat tested, we suspect she would do well as both a cat and dog companion given her submissive nature and love for her pups. This mama has also been nailing her potty training – what a smartypants! And we know she will continue to do well with a family who is ready to shower this sweetheart with lots of love. Will that be you? Apply to adopt Perdita today!
