Story
apori is sweet, playful, and perpetually in motion. She barely sits still for more than a couple of seconds, which her foster reports with what we can only describe as fond exhaustion. She loves tug-of-war with her brother, is very curious about her surroundings, and has a touch of separation anxiety when her brother's not around, though her foster expects that to fade as she settles in. She sleeps cuddled up with him in their shared enclosure, eats well, and is making progress on potty training. She's just a very energetic, very sweet, very curious little puppy doing puppy things at full speed. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Sangam is a lot of puppy in what appears to be a very floppy little body. He loves to play, loves to explore the yard, loves chewing toys, and, according to his foster, kind of just flops around like a little rag doll when he's not doing all of that. It’s kind of amazing. He eats well and is working on potty training, which is mostly a matter of being taken outside more consistently, a responsibility his foster has cheerfully taken on. He's been great with other dogs so far and is just generally a joyful little presence who is, quote, "the cutest little thing." Hard to argue with that. -----
