Story
These three tiny puppies have already survived more tragedy in a few months than most dogs experience in a lifetime.
They appear to be Pekingese/Maltese type mixes and are only around 4 months old, weighing approximately 1-2 lbs each right now. They originally lived with a woman who allowed the mom dog and puppies to roam freely in the streets. Before I was contacted, their mother and five siblings were tragically hit and killed by cars. By the time I found out about them, only these three babies were left.
Despite the heartbreaking situation they came from, these puppies are incredibly friendly, sweet, happy, and trusting. They absolutely adore people and have the playful, affectionate personalities you would expect from puppies who still believe the world is a good place.
They are tiny enough right now that they will not be altered prior to adoption. Adopters will be required to provide proof of spay/neuter once the puppies are fully grown, so approximately a year from now.
These little ones are absolute darling babies and will do best with adopters who understand just how fragile very small puppies can be.
Good fit: someone looking for a tiny companion puppy and prepared for the care, supervision, and commitment that comes with raising an extra small breed mix.
Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations.
If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back.
Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport)
Health: Vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and on current preventatives. Due to size, these puppies are too small to be spayed/neutered yet. Adopters must provide proof of spay/neuter once fully grown.
Adoption fee: $550 (includes transport + vetting)
Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer
Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT
