Story
**Wherefore art thou… forever family?** Meet our **Romeo and Juliet litter**! These stunning **8-week-old black puppies** are believed to be **Flat-Coated Retriever mixes**, dressed for every occasion—because black goes with everything. 🖤 Our leading ladies are **Juliet, Rosaline, and Paris**, joined by our handsome gentlemen **Romeo, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Benvolio**. This unwanted litter came to us from **Southern Illinois**, and we’re so grateful we could welcome them before their story took a tragic turn. Now they’re ready for a rewrite: a family of their own, a lifetime of love, and perhaps a little dramatic sighing when dinner is late. Flat-Coated Retrievers are known for being bright, cheerful, affectionate dogs with a playful spirit that often lasts well into adulthood. They can make wonderful companions for active families who enjoy including their dogs in everyday life. Like other sporting breeds, they need regular exercise, mental enrichment, and patient training as they grow. Each puppy’s personality will be their own adventure! These little loves are looking for **the love of a lifetime**. No balcony required—just a welcoming home, a little patience for puppyhood, and a promise to stick around for every act. **Could you be their happily ever after? Apply today** *Breed and size are estimates based on coat type, size, muzzle, body shape, and other physical traits. We cannot guarantee breed makeup, adult weight, or adult size.

Story
Stella Rosa is the name and Sweetness is my game! I am about 3 years old, weigh 60 pounds, and was thought to be a Vizsla Mix. One of my babies had a DNA test done, and they were mostly Australian Cattle dog, so your guess is as good as mine. I have lovingly attended to my litter of 11 pups, found them great forever homes, and am ready to be treated like the princess I am. I will smother you with love the second you enter the room. All I am looking for in return is a family that will love me back. My foster momma says my only vice is getting excited when I meet new people. But who can fault a girl for that? I am house-trained, do great with dogs big and small, and love playing with the kids in my foster home, the youngest being 10. If you want to meet me in hopes to make me part of your forever family, please fill out an application with Paws Up 4 Rescue. Our adoption process is usually quick, but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require that the dogs be present at the meeting to make sure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and we will gladly consider your family for another dog.
