14. Praline

Puppy · Female · Hound / Mixed

Praline’s foster was filling out her update when she looked down to find this sweet girl sleeping between her feet, using one as a pillow. That’s Praline. Always finding a little way to be close to someone she loves. She is 3 months old and about 20 pounds. She loves chasing a ball, wrestling with her stuffed toys, and investigating the world with her very impressive nose. But when those puppy eyes get sleepy, she’ll tuck herself beside you and settle in like there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. Praline has been sharing her foster home with a dog and two cats, and she did wonderfully with the children in her previous foster home.

Read more about Praline

She adores people, loves other dogs, and would be thrilled to have a playful canine friend. With the cats, she’s curious and respectful, perfectly happy to let them do their own thing. Praline already knows “sit” and “touch,” is learning her name, and takes her training very seriously when treats are involved. She’s making steady progress with puppy pads, getting comfortable in her crate, and learning her puppy manners with a family cheering her on. Her foster calls her “honestly a great puppy,” and we couldn’t be happier watching her grow. Praline is looking for a family who will make time for play, help her keep learning, and always leave a little room beside them for a girl who loves this much.

16. Justin Bieber

Young · Male · Terrier / Mixed

Sometimes all you need is a 10lb scruffy little teddy bear named Justin Bieber to make life a whole lot sweeter. Our little JB has been BLOSSOMING in foster care, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come and thankful to his foster! Just a few weeks ago, this shy little guy was too scared to even step outside. Now he’s happily trotting along on morning walks, following his foster mom and doggy foster sibling around, and even starting to figure out that potty breaks happen OUTSIDE! His confidence is growing every single day, his adorable personality is shining through, and it’s hard not to be obsessed with him.

Read more about Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is a 2 year old, 10lb terrier mix with the sweetest little face, the cutest scruffy curls, and SO much love to give. His favorite things are cozy naps, snuggling up in bed, following his favorite people around, and having a doggy friend to show him the ropes. He’s a low to moderate-energy little guy who would much rather spend his afternoons cuddling than running a marathon. JB is doing wonderfully with other dogs, has been calm around cats, and has done well with children once he warms up. He’s also crate trained and becoming quite the little walking buddy! He’s still a shy boy who needs patience with handling, being picked up, and potty training, but the progress he’s made with a little love, consistency, and routine has been AMAZING. And that’s the thing about Justin Bieber. He just needs someone to give him the time and love to become the confident, happy little dog we already know is in there. We would LOVE to see JB find a calm, loving forever home, ideally with another friendly dog to help him continue building his confidence. Someone out there is going to be SO lucky to call this little guy theirs.

17. Wally

Young · Male · Poodle (Standard) / Wheaten Terrier / Mixed

Wally is a 2 Year Old/40 pound Poodle/Wheaten Mix who is playful, loves fetch, chew toys, and cuddling in the morning. He's house trained and settles in his crate after some initial protesting. He is very high energy and is still learning how to channel his excitement. He would do best with someone comfortable providing a consistent routine and continued training that his foster has been working on with our partner trainer! Wally enjoys other dogs and plays enthusiastically (so he's better as a single dog or with a VERY playful dog alongside him who can tolerate his always wanting to play). It takes time for him to settle in a new environment, but after some initial time settling in, he's going to be your bestest Netflix cuddle bud!
