Story
From the moment you meet Dinah, there is a sense of comfort and calm there. It’s almost like she makes you slow down and smile without even realizing it. If her soft eyes don’t pull you in the way she gently melts at your feet for a moment of love will absolutely get you. At a little over a year old and 63 lbs, this beautiful Rottweiler/Shepherd mix (best guess, of course) is still discovering the world, and every day her playful, affectionate personality grows. What stands out most about Dinah is how deeply loving she is. She absolutely adores gentle affection, melts for belly rubs, and forms the kind of quiet, meaningful connection that feels incredibly special. Go watch Dinah on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this belly-rub loving shy girl. https://youtu.be/i4HWTc6GtXs Dinah is being fostered in a loving home with other dogs and while she can initially come across as shy in new environments, her foster shared that underneath that passing feeling is a playful, affectionate girl who truly loves her people. We spent an afternoon with her outside of her foster home and she was just a whole bunch of gentle sweetness. We let her take it slow and it didnt take much time at all before she was meeting new people, rolingl over to show her belly, and gently taking treats. The cutest thing was when the belly rubs stopped, Dinah would quietly scoot herself back closer asking for more. It was one of those tiny little moments that says everything about who she really is. Dinah is very people-oriented despite her shyness. More than anything, she seems to crave soft affection, patient reassurance, and gentle connection. She takes comfort in calm voices and kind handling and really appears to blossom when she realizes nobody expects anything from her except simply being herself. She has a wonderfully soft mouth when taking treats and overall comes across as an incredibly sensitive, thoughtful dog. With other dogs, Dinah initially needed a little time to settle in and trust the situation, but once she relaxed she showed very appropriate social skills and gentle communication. Pushy dogs can overwhelm her, though she gives fair, controlled corrections when needed and then quickly moves on. She would likely do best with respectful, socially savvy dogs, especially calm or playful medium to large dogs who won’t crowd her. Her foster shared that once comfortable at home she actually enjoys rough-and-tumble style play, which feels very believable for a young dog finally letting her guard down. Dinah is not recommended for homes with cats or very small dogs, and because fast movement and busy environments initially can make her feel overwhelmed, we think she would likely thrive most in a calmer home with older kids or adults who understand shy dogs and the beauty of letting trust build slowly. The thing about Dinah is that she is not difficult, dramatic, or demanding. She is simply sensitive. She notices tone, energy, movement, and intention in a deep way. Dogs like Dinah often form incredibly strong bonds with the people who give them patience and safety because once they trust you, they truly love with their whole heart. If you are looking for a soft soul who just wants gentle affection, belly rubs, and someone to love deeply, Dinah is ready and waiting for you.

Story
Willow is the kind of dog who seems happiest when life is simple. A comfy place to relax, a few snackies, her people nearby, and a predictable routine she can count on. That's Willow. Willow is estimated to be around 4 years old, weighs 78 lbs, and looks very much like a Rottweiler/Lab mix, though rescue rules apply and breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that she is a gentle, easygoing family dog who has already proven herself to be a wonderful house companion. Go watch on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this sweet and steady girl. https://youtu.be/PR_xxAMDH_4 Willow is currently being fostered in a loving family home where she lives with a 2-year-old and an older German Shepherd. Her foster shared that she has a wonderfully calm, gentle relationship with both. She is house trained, crate trained, has excellent house manners, and has settled beautifully into family life. The best version of Willow is the one her foster sees every day- relaxed, comfortable, and happy to simply be part of the household- tea parties included. She also happens to know sit and shake, and she is very willing to show off those skills when snackies are involved. Willow appreciates the finer things in life, and treats definitely rank high on that list. Willow can be a bit shy when in new environments, even so, she remains easy to handle and showed us that she is more of a thoughtful, low-key dog than a social butterfly. She met new dog including a teeny-tiny small dog and our house cat appropriately and generally preferred minding her own business over seeking interaction or being pushy at all. Willow would likely be happiest in a home that appreciates her calm nature and allows her a little time to settle into new situations. Once she feels safe and secure, she's the kind of dog who simply wants to be part of the family. Her foster shared that she does identify as a lovable lap-dog so be forewarned, Willow believes that lap-dog is a state of mind not a body type. If you're looking for a mature, well-mannered companion who already knows how to live successfully in a home, Willow is exactly the girl you've been waiting for.

Story
Strong, smart, a little silly, and very enthusiastic about a game of fetch… this is Ohlee! She has a cool,calm confidence but still lights up when the fun begins. A Rottweiler with a playful side, a friendly nature and a big ol’ heart, how could anyone resist? Want to see this fetch-loving beauty in action? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the girl who ran away with out heart. Ohlee is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 74 lbs. She appears to be a Rottweiler through and through, just a slightly more petite version of the classic look. As always with rescue, breed and birthday are our best guess. During her assessment, Ohlee made an impression right away. She greeted people with friendly curiosity and has a relaxed confidence that makes everyone smile and makes her easy company. When it was time to show-off what she knows, she showed that she has great basic leash skills and is happy to engage with her handler. Smart girl energy all the way. And then there’s the fetch. Ohlee absolutely understands the assignment. Toss the ball and she’s off with joyful purpose, bringing it right back with a gentle mouth and zero toy possessiveness. It’s the kind of easy, cooperative play that makes backyard time extra fun. With other dogs, Ohlee was an absolute star. Calm, confident, friendly… and also perfectly content doing her own thing. She greeted every dog politely and then often wandered off to sniff the yard like a happy little explorer. She initiated play a couple of times, but she seems more like a “short play session and then back to sniffing” kind of girl. Overall she gives off that wonderful medium-to-low energy vibe that makes her easy company for people and dogs. Ohlee is fostered in a loving home with a wide variety of dogs and her foster family praises her for being house and crate trained with great house manners. She is calm, respectful, and learns quickly. Ohlee has shown that living with cats isn’t the right match for her, so she’ll need a feline-free home moving forward. Otherwise, Ohlee is the kind of dog who fits into many lifestyles. With her steady temperament and moderate energy level, she could even thrive in an apartment environment as long as the building allows larger breeds and she gets her daily walks and the occasional game of fetch. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal companion who mixes classic Rottie charm with a playful spirit and easygoing presence, Ohlee is your girl! Apply today to meet Ohlee! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69a5ec43d120e3239602df6b Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Story
With a name like Doris is it any surprise to hear that she is a soft presence that can quietly change the entire mood of a room just by being in it. Soft eyes, gentle presence, a little shy smile, and suddenly everyone is talking quieter and moving slower without even realizing it. She is estimated to be a little over a year old, weighs 63 lbs, and appears to be a Rottweiler mix, though rescue rules apply and breed and age are simply our best guess. What we do know for certain is that Doris is an incredibly tenderhearted girl with a deeply loving nature. Go watch Doris on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this soft-hearted shadow girl. https://youtu.be/6nhDbqEtCT4 Doris is being fostered in a loving home with other dogs and her foster shared that once she settles in, she is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully connected to her people. New environments can make her nervous at first and she tends to approach the world with a softer, more submissive personality. During a recent visit with us away from her foster home we could see what he meant but more than anything, despite her uncertainty, she continued choosing connection over and over again. One of the sweetest moments is when she slowly relaxes to roll onto her back for belly rubs, looking up with those warm eyes full of trust and love. Lots of awwwww’s were said with her. She walks beautifully on leash, has very nice house manners, and overall comes across as a naturally gentle dog. While she may need a little time to decompress in a brand new environment, once she feels safe her affectionate personality really starts to bloom. Her foster shared that she is playful at home and that she plays with a variety of dogs, including different sizes and and different personalities. Of the new dogs she met during a recent playgroups, she seemed to enjoy the calmer, respectful dogs and appeared more comfortable around smaller dogs during testing. Pushier dogs can make her feel insecure, so she would likely do best with canine companions who respect boundaries and will allow friendship to build naturally instead of overwhelming her right away. Doris was also introduced to our house cat and was curious but very respectful. She mostly followed the cat around calmly and sniffed, so while we would still recommend slow introductions and continued supervision, she showed encouraging signs for a home with a calm, dog-savvy cat. We think Doris would thrive with adopters who understand that not every dog arrives loudly confident right away. Some dogs bloom slowly and quietly, and honestly, there is something incredibly special about watching a dog soften, lean into affection, and realize she is safe with you. If you are looking for a sweet, soulful companion with a gentle spirit and a whole lot of love to give, Doris is your girl! Apply today to adopt Doris! Ready to make the first move?

Story
** This dog is not in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes - Her current owner needs to rehome her and we are assisting with that process. If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ** Raya is an 11-year-old senior Rottweiler/Retriever (Black Labrador) mix with a beautiful black and brown coat. She is a fun-loving, affectionate girl who truly believes she’s a 100-lb lap dog. She’s incredibly sweet and greets her people with excited howls when they come home. Raya does wonderfully with people of all ages, including small children, and loves attention and companionship. She gets along well with most dogs, especially those who enjoy playing, but she does best when introductions are done on leash. She hasn’t been around other animals besides dogs. Raya was rescued and has a skin condition affecting her tail and one paw, as well as a chicken allergy, so she will need an owner who can continue managing her care. Due to a recent period of unemployment and now working long hours, her owner is no longer able to give her the time, attention, and care she deserves. Raya would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of love, attention, and consistent care. She is a loyal, gentle companion who just wants to be close to her people.

~~THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE SEND ALL INQUIRIEST TO HIS OWNER DIRECTLY AT novarynn@gmail.com     THANK YOU ~~ This is Gunnar, my 2 year old Husky Rottweiler mix. He is a sweet, goofy, and handsome boy. He is around 40 lb, and up to date with his vaccines. We are unsure of how Gunnar would act around cats, but he seems to do fine around children, though may jump on them to show affection. Gunnar needs to be fed the Hills ZD diet, or the Squarepet hydrolyzed pork kibble. Hide your socks, because he will steal them and fling them around to play! Please contact me if you are interested in adopting this sweet boy.  ##2130588##

Story
From the moment you meet Dinah, there is a sense of comfort and calm there. It’s almost like she makes you slow down and smile without even realizing it. If her soft eyes don’t pull you in the way she gently melts at your feet for a moment of love will absolutely get you. At a little over a year old and 63 lbs, this beautiful Rottweiler/Shepherd mix (best guess, of course) is still discovering the world, and every day her playful, affectionate personality grows. What stands out most about Dinah is how deeply loving she is. She absolutely adores gentle affection, melts for belly rubs, and forms the kind of quiet, meaningful connection that feels incredibly special. Go watch Dinah on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this belly-rub loving shy girl. https://youtu.be/i4HWTc6GtXs Dinah is being fostered in a loving home with other dogs and while she can initially come across as shy in new environments, her foster shared that underneath that passing feeling is a playful, affectionate girl who truly loves her people. We spent an afternoon with her outside of her foster home and she was just a whole bunch of gentle sweetness. We let her take it slow and it didnt take much time at all before she was meeting new people, rolingl over to show her belly, and gently taking treats. The cutest thing was when the belly rubs stopped, Dinah would quietly scoot herself back closer asking for more. It was one of those tiny little moments that says everything about who she really is. Dinah is very people-oriented despite her shyness. More than anything, she seems to crave soft affection, patient reassurance, and gentle connection. She takes comfort in calm voices and kind handling and really appears to blossom when she realizes nobody expects anything from her except simply being herself. She has a wonderfully soft mouth when taking treats and overall comes across as an incredibly sensitive, thoughtful dog. With other dogs, Dinah initially needed a little time to settle in and trust the situation, but once she relaxed she showed very appropriate social skills and gentle communication. Pushy dogs can overwhelm her, though she gives fair, controlled corrections when needed and then quickly moves on. She would likely do best with respectful, socially savvy dogs, especially calm or playful medium to large dogs who won’t crowd her. Her foster shared that once comfortable at home she actually enjoys rough-and-tumble style play, which feels very believable for a young dog finally letting her guard down. Dinah is not recommended for homes with cats or very small dogs, and because fast movement and busy environments initially can make her feel overwhelmed, we think she would likely thrive most in a calmer home with older kids or adults who understand shy dogs and the beauty of letting trust build slowly. The thing about Dinah is that she is not difficult, dramatic, or demanding. She is simply sensitive. She notices tone, energy, movement, and intention in a deep way. Dogs like Dinah often form incredibly strong bonds with the people who give them patience and safety because once they trust you, they truly love with their whole heart. If you are looking for a soft soul who just wants gentle affection, belly rubs, and someone to love deeply, Dinah is ready and waiting for you.

Email Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org From the moment you meet Dinah, there is a sense of comfort and calm there. It’s almost like she makes you slow down and smile without even realizing it. If her soft eyes don’t pull you in the way she gently melts at your feet for a moment of love will absolutely get you. At a little over a year old and 63 lbs, this beautiful Rottweiler/Shepherd mix (best guess, of course) is still discovering the world, and every day her playful, affectionate personality grows. What stands out most about Dinah is how deeply loving she is. She absolutely adores gentle affection, melts for belly rubs, and forms the kind of quiet, meaningful connection that feels incredibly special. Go watch Dinah on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this belly-rub loving shy girl. Dinah is being fostered in a loving home with other dogs and while she can initially come across as shy in new environments, her foster shared that underneath that passing feeling is a playful, affectionate girl who truly loves her people. We spent an afternoon with her outside of her foster home and she was just a whole bunch of gentle sweetness. We let her take it slow and it didnt take much time at all before she was meeting new people, rolingl over to show her belly, and gently taking treats. The cutest thing was when the belly rubs stopped, Dinah would quietly scoot herself back closer asking for more. It was one of those tiny little moments that says everything about who she really is. Dinah is very people-oriented despite her shyness. More than anything, she seems to crave soft affection, patient reassurance, and gentle connection. She takes comfort in calm voices and kind handling and really appears to blossom when she realizes nobody expects anything from her except simply being herself. She has a wonderfully soft mouth when taking treats and overall comes across as an incredibly sensitive, thoughtful dog.

Story
Willow is the kind of dog who seems happiest when life is simple. A comfy place to relax, a few snackies, her people nearby, and a predictable routine she can count on. That's Willow. Willow is estimated to be around 4 years old, weighs 78 lbs, and looks very much like a Rottweiler/Lab mix, though rescue rules apply and breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that she is a gentle, easygoing family dog who has already proven herself to be a wonderful house companion. Go watch on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this sweet and steady girl. https://youtu.be/PR_xxAMDH_4 Willow is currently being fostered in a loving family home where she lives with a 2-year-old and an older German Shepherd. Her foster shared that she has a wonderfully calm, gentle relationship with both. She is house trained, crate trained, has excellent house manners, and has settled beautifully into family life. The best version of Willow is the one her foster sees every day- relaxed, comfortable, and happy to simply be part of the household- tea parties included. She also happens to know sit and shake, and she is very willing to show off those skills when snackies are involved. Willow appreciates the finer things in life, and treats definitely rank high on that list. Willow can be a bit shy when in new environments, even so, she remains easy to handle and showed us that she is more of a thoughtful, low-key dog than a social butterfly. She met new dog including a teeny-tiny small dog and our house cat appropriately and generally preferred minding her own business over seeking interaction or being pushy at all. Willow would likely be happiest in a home that appreciates her calm nature and allows her a little time to settle into new situations. Once she feels safe and secure, she's the kind of dog who simply wants to be part of the family. Her foster shared that she does identify as a lovable lap-dog so be forewarned, Willow believes that lap-dog is a state of mind not a body type. If you're looking for a mature, well-mannered companion who already knows how to live successfully in a home, Willow is exactly the girl you've been waiting for.

Story
Strong, smart, a little silly, and very enthusiastic about a game of fetch… this is Ohlee! She has a cool,calm confidence but still lights up when the fun begins. A Rottweiler with a playful side, a friendly nature and a big ol’ heart, how could anyone resist? Want to see this fetch-loving beauty in action? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the girl who ran away with out heart. Ohlee is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 74 lbs. She appears to be a Rottweiler through and through, just a slightly more petite version of the classic look. As always with rescue, breed and birthday are our best guess. During her assessment, Ohlee made an impression right away. She greeted people with friendly curiosity and has a relaxed confidence that makes everyone smile and makes her easy company. When it was time to show-off what she knows, she showed that she has great basic leash skills and is happy to engage with her handler. Smart girl energy all the way. And then there’s the fetch. Ohlee absolutely understands the assignment. Toss the ball and she’s off with joyful purpose, bringing it right back with a gentle mouth and zero toy possessiveness. It’s the kind of easy, cooperative play that makes backyard time extra fun. With other dogs, Ohlee was an absolute star. Calm, confident, friendly… and also perfectly content doing her own thing. She greeted every dog politely and then often wandered off to sniff the yard like a happy little explorer. She initiated play a couple of times, but she seems more like a “short play session and then back to sniffing” kind of girl. Overall she gives off that wonderful medium-to-low energy vibe that makes her easy company for people and dogs. Ohlee is fostered in a loving home with a wide variety of dogs and her foster family praises her for being house and crate trained with great house manners. She is calm, respectful, and learns quickly. Ohlee has shown that living with cats isn’t the right match for her, so she’ll need a feline-free home moving forward. Otherwise, Ohlee is the kind of dog who fits into many lifestyles. With her steady temperament and moderate energy level, she could even thrive in an apartment environment as long as the building allows larger breeds and she gets her daily walks and the occasional game of fetch. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal companion who mixes classic Rottie charm with a playful spirit and easygoing presence, Ohlee is your girl!

Story
With a name like Doris is it any surprise to hear that she is a soft presence that can quietly change the entire mood of a room just by being in it. Soft eyes, gentle presence, a little shy smile, and suddenly everyone is talking quieter and moving slower without even realizing it. She is estimated to be a little over a year old, weighs 63 lbs, and appears to be a Rottweiler mix, though rescue rules apply and breed and age are simply our best guess. What we do know for certain is that Doris is an incredibly tenderhearted girl with a deeply loving nature. Go watch Doris on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this soft-hearted shadow girl. https://youtu.be/6nhDbqEtCT4 Doris is being fostered in a loving home with other dogs and her foster shared that once she settles in, she is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully connected to her people. New environments can make her nervous at first and she tends to approach the world with a softer, more submissive personality. During a recent visit with us away from her foster home we could see what he meant but more than anything, despite her uncertainty, she continued choosing connection over and over again. One of the sweetest moments is when she slowly relaxes to roll onto her back for belly rubs, looking up with those warm eyes full of trust and love. Lots of awwwww’s were said with her. She walks beautifully on leash, has very nice house manners, and overall comes across as a naturally gentle dog. While she may need a little time to decompress in a brand new environment, once she feels safe her affectionate personality really starts to bloom. Her foster shared that she is playful at home and that she plays with a variety of dogs, including different sizes and and different personalities. Of the new dogs she met during a recent playgroups, she seemed to enjoy the calmer, respectful dogs and appeared more comfortable around smaller dogs during testing. Pushier dogs can make her feel insecure, so she would likely do best with canine companions who respect boundaries and will allow friendship to build naturally instead of overwhelming her right away. Doris was also introduced to our house cat and was curious but very respectful. She mostly followed the cat around calmly and sniffed, so while we would still recommend slow introductions and continued supervision, she showed encouraging signs for a home with a calm, dog-savvy cat. We think Doris would thrive with adopters who understand that not every dog arrives loudly confident right away. Some dogs bloom slowly and quietly, and honestly, there is something incredibly special about watching a dog soften, lean into affection, and realize she is safe with you. If you are looking for a sweet, soulful companion with a gentle spirit and a whole lot of love to give, Doris is your girl! Apply today to adopt Doris! Ready to make the first move?

Story
** This dog is not in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes - Her current owner needs to rehome her and we are assisting with that process. If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ** Raya is an 11-year-old senior Rottweiler/Retriever (Black Labrador) mix with a beautiful black and brown coat. She is a fun-loving, affectionate girl who truly believes she’s a 100-lb lap dog. She’s incredibly sweet and greets her people with excited howls when they come home. Raya does wonderfully with people of all ages, including small children, and loves attention and companionship. She gets along well with most dogs, especially those who enjoy playing, but she does best when introductions are done on leash. She hasn’t been around other animals besides dogs. Raya was rescued and has a skin condition affecting her tail and one paw, as well as a chicken allergy, so she will need an owner who can continue managing her care. Due to a recent period of unemployment and now working long hours, her owner is no longer able to give her the time, attention, and care she deserves. Raya would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of love, attention, and consistent care. She is a loyal, gentle companion who just wants to be close to her people.

Story
Buster is a joyful little puppy with an adventurous spirit and a soft heart. He loves exploring, playing, and discovering new things, and he tends to approach life with an easygoing, happy attitude that makes him incredibly lovable. He is the type of puppy who can turn almost anything into a game and who seems genuinely excited to experience the world around him. He enjoys being active and playful, especially with other dogs, and he would likely thrive in a home where he has room to move, play, and continue building confidence. Whether he’s chasing toys, tumbling around with puppy friends, or investigating something new in the yard, Buster brings a fun and cheerful energy with him everywhere he goes. Watch his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/ynS3k8Q21f4?si=EbesVGjX2Rix3UT1 One of the sweetest things about Buster is that underneath all the puppy energy, he has a very affectionate and gentle nature. Once playtime slows down, he enjoys relaxing close to his people and soaking up attention. He loves being included and responds really well to kindness and affection. He’s still young and learning, but he already shows signs of being a very loving companion who bonds closely with the people around him. Buster would do well in a home that is ready for all the normal puppy stages — learning routines, working on training, continuing socialization, and giving him lots of positive experiences as he grows. He would likely enjoy another playful dog companion, but he would also do great as the center of attention in a loving family that wants an active and affectionate puppy to raise. He has such a happy, goofy charm about him, and it’s easy to picture him growing into the kind of dog that becomes everyone’s best friend. Buster is sweet, fun-loving, cuddly, and full of potential. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69ead1d4ebec3114810daf3b Questions?

Story
Meet Delilah! A retired queen who has officially mastered the art of peaceful living. At around 10 years old, this sweet boxer/American Bully mix has absolutely zero interest in drama, chaos, or unnecessary cardio. Delilah’s perfect day consists of finding the coziest possible spot in the house, settling into it like she pays the bills, and occasionally wandering outside to enjoy a little sunshine before returning to her scheduled relaxation time. And honestly? She’s earned it. Delilah has the squishiest little face and the softest, sweetest eyes that always look like she’s about to tell you everything is going to be okay. She’s one of those dogs whose presence just feels comforting. Calm. Easy. Familiar. The type of dog who quietly keeps you company while you read, watch TV, work from home, or nap on the couch beside her. Watch Delilah's video here! https://youtu.be/sa1mk-v8Cw0?si=TT94niqZQy-pv-nr She’s not asking for marathons or nonstop entertainment. She just wants a soft place to land and people who love having a quiet companion nearby. With other dogs, Delilah has truly mastered the art of peaceful coexistence. She lives with multiple dogs in her foster home and does wonderfully as long as everyone respects her space and keeps things calm. She greets dogs politely, has excellent social skills, and honestly prefers to simply coexist rather than actively interact. Think “nice neighbor” more than “party host.” If another dog gets too pushy, jumpy, or overly excited in her face, Delilah will absolutely let them know she’d prefer some personal space — and honestly, fair enough. She gives very appropriate, clear corrections and then immediately moves on with her day like a mature grown woman who has no time for nonsense. She doesn’t hold grudges, she doesn’t create chaos, she just likes respectful roommates. And the cat test? Iconic. They brought the cat into the room, and Delilah basically glanced over, sniffed the air for a second, and then decided it simply was not her business. She turned around and went right back to relaxing. Truly unmatched levels of minding her own business. Because she’s such a low-energy, easygoing girl, Delilah could absolutely do well in an apartment — ideally a quieter one or maybe a first-floor setup since she’s an older lady. But honestly, her DREAM would probably be a peaceful home with a little backyard where she can slowly wander around, sunbathe, and have her own cozy outdoor lounging spot. I can fully picture her with a little cot outside just peacefully supervising the yard like a retired grandma on vacation. She would do best in a calmer home without super rowdy dogs or puppies constantly in her space. A mellow respectful dog companion would be perfectly fine, but she’d also probably be very content as your one-and-only spoiled couch potato. Delilah isn’t trying to be the life of the party anymore. She’s trying to enjoy retirement. And she is exceptionally good at it. 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Meet ✨Jasmine Jewel✨ the tiny velvet-coated princess with the sweetest little puppy eyes and the most kissable floppy ears imaginable. We seriously cannot handle how cute this girl is. At just three months old, Jasmine Jewel is already the full puppy package: playful, cuddly, social, smart, and impossibly lovable. We believe she may be a Doberman/Lab mix, but as a rescue we can’t guarantee breed, what we can guarantee is that she is 100% certified angel baby. She has the most stunning little “Dobie baby” markings: a shiny black coat so soft it feels like velvet, tiny blonde eyebrows that always make her look curious, precious little tan socks, and the floppiest ears that bounce when she runs. Everywhere she goes, people fall in love instantly. Watch Jasmine's video here, then come right back to read more!! https://youtu.be/GpYa9-BpG2k?si=Gf161EndW52G5w8F Jasmine lives with other dogs and absolutely adores them. She loves romping around with her doggy friends, playing chase, wrestling, and then crashing together for nap time. She’s wonderfully social and fits right into the pack like she’s been there forever. She’s also incredibly people-oriented and thinks cuddles are basically the meaning of life. If you sit down, expect a snuggly little puppy to appear in your lap immediately. And recently? Miss Jasmine discovered the pool… and let’s just say she believes she is part otter now. She LOVES water and happily splashes around like the tiny adventurous queen she is. We can already picture her growing into the ultimate adventure companion, hiking buddy, lake-day partner, road trip copilot, patio brunch date… she’s down for all of it. For such a young puppy, Jasmine is already wonderfully smart and eager to learn. She’s very treat motivated, making training fun and easy, and she has that happy little “tell me what to do next!” attitude that makes puppies so rewarding to raise. She’s the kind of puppy that makes your whole house feel happier, goofy, loving, playful, affectionate, and full of sunshine. One look at her precious face and wiggly little body and you’ll understand why everyone who meets her becomes obsessed immediately. Jasmine Jewel is ready to find a forever family to grow up with, love endlessly, and make memories beside for the rest of her life. Ready to welcome Jasmine into your life?
