Faith was found abandoned (probably dumped) at the end of a dirt road by a mechanics shop. That is where this sweet baby's story, as we know it, begins. It is beyond wonderful that we can now make that story so much better! Faith is currently being fostered in Georgia and is a happy little puppy who is delighted to have soft, clean bedding, nutritious puppy food and lots of love! She may not be quite as delighted with the deworming and vaccinations however. We do not know who her mother or father were but we estimate her to be somewhere between 12 and 14 weeks at this writing, so possibly a birth date of around 7/23.

Say bonjour to Boulware, a 4-month-old pup who was found near Boulware Springs along with his brother. He's great on and off leash and loves to explore, so Boulware would make a great walking buddy! While he may be a slow learner, once he gets it, he's GOT it. In the meantime, he sits
really
well and will hop right in his crate as soon as you say "place!" Do you like to play tug of war? He'll probably win!

Say hello to Hawthorne, a 4-month old lab-mix! He and his brother were found at the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trailhead. Hawthorne is a very smart, crate trained lover boy who already knows how to sit and lie down! He loves to run laps and play fetch (even though his brother would rather play tug of war). While he's a bit of a homebody, you know Hawthorne always be there when you return with the biggest puppy dog eyes known to humankind!

Luna does wonderfully with kids and has a fun personality that will keep you smiling. She’s still working on her house training and learning the proper way to meet and socialize with other dogs.

Salsa is just one of the cuties in our TexMex crew! She is the tiniest of the bunch, but don’t let that fool you, she is also the mightiest! Salsa lives up to her name, she is spicy, fun, and walks around with a confident swagger you can’t ignore! At our puppy yoga event she was the first to throw a playful paw at the humans there and was just maybe seen grabbing a stray ponytail or bun that was close to her on the floor while the humans were yoga-ing. She is a ton of fun and ready to take on the world. When she is done being the confident queen she is she sleeps the best puppy sleep, preferably right in her foster moms lap!
