Story
Hi! My name is Pippin. I am a really sweet pup and I am just looking for my furever home! I was surrendered by a breeder but I was not part of a puppy mill. I lived in the breeder's home with her kids and other pets. I am 10 months old (born around June 2025), weigh about 5 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I am neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $450, and covers all of my vetting ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com!

Story
Molly was bred and had a terrible life before, but now enjoys life to the fullest! She loves doing zoomies in her fosters fenced yard and loves all the other dogs. Her tongue hangs out a bit due to the extractions she had to have. She does spin sometimes, a lingering affect of living in a cage much of her life and feeling anxious. She is fostered in an all adult home, with dogs and cats. Molly is 10 yrs old and weighs 9.8 lb. She loves to be where you are! Looking for a close companion and are willing to be patient as she adjusts? Then Molly may be the girl for you. Spay, vaccines, microchip provided.
