Story
Sweet Tommy may have little to no sight, but don't tell him that! Tommy doesn't know he's any different, and he certainly isn't letting partial blindness slow him down. This happy little guy spends his days playing with the resident dog, stealing toys whenever the opportunity presents itself, and exploring the world with confidence and curiosity. While Tommy is blind in one eye and has only partial vision in the other, he navigates life remarkably well. He learns routines quickly, follows sounds and scents, and takes his cues from the dogs and people around him. Most importantly, Tommy is happy. He loves to play, loves companionship, and approaches each day with enthusiasm and joy. His foster says he keeps up with everyone just fine and has no intention of letting a little thing like limited vision get in the way of living his best life. The world is Tommy's oyster, and he's ready to find a family willing to see past his eyes and appreciate the incredible little dog he is. Tommy is the tiniest cuddliest of his litter.  Tommy is sweet as sugar!  These beautiful babies didn’t start life with love — they started it fighting to survive.  Abandoned in Puerto Rico and left to starve, this multicolored litter of puppies was found just in time. Weak, hungry, and scared, they had no one looking out for them… until now. Today, they are safe, fed, and finally learning what it feels like to be cared for — but their journey isn’t over yet. Each puppy is as unique as their coat — a perfect mix of colors, personalities, and pure resilience. Despite everything they’ve been through, they are incredibly sweet, playful, and full of love. They are trusting, hopeful, and ready to bond with a family of their own. Now they need the most important rescue of all — a forever home. ✨ Puppy details: • 5.5 months old, 16-21 lbs • current on age appropriate vaccines • Mixed breed “Sato” pups from Puerto Rico • Bright, playful, and affectionate Adoption fee $395Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Autumn is a sweet, affectionate girl with a playful spirit and lots of energy. She thrives with regular exercise and loves chasing balls, sticks, and keeping the yard squirrel-free. She’s also very loving and will happily curl up in your lap. She is housebroken, crate trained, and does well in her crate overnight. Autumn enjoys walks and rides calmly in the car. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely burn off energy. Autumn does well with older children who are comfortable with an enthusiastic, playful dog and who respect her space. She enjoys other dogs in group settings and thrives best with a male or docile female sibling.
