PIPPIN

🩷

 Pippin is the sweetest, kindest and most loving pup ever. She’s around 6 years old, about 65 lbs,  walks politely on a leash, and rides in the car like a dream.   Pippin has spent the majority of her life in a kennel and needs someone to give her the chance to show them how amazing she is. A home with no cats is needed and older kids as Pipping is a shy girl and needs to trust, but once you are in her circle she is absolutely perfect.  Her favorite thing is to sit in the sun with trusted people

Brenna

🩷

  Brenna is about 3 years old and 58 pounds. She has spent most of her life in kennels and with her mom but is now ready to branch out.  Brenna's favorite place is right next to someone she trusts.  She is working on building her own confidence so relies on other to make her feel safe.  Routine is Brenna's jam as she thrives when she knows what to expect because of this a home as the only pet and with older children is best so she has time to safely adjust to home life.   Brenna is sweet, kind, 

Bernie

💙

Why Bernie will steal your heart:
• Smart & eager, compact little guy— he LOVES learning
• Dog-friendly — happy to have canine friends
• Playful & goofy — built-in daily laughs
• Deeply loyal — once he’s yours, he’s ALL yours. Bernie is a young staffordshire bull terrier full of energy, and would thrive with an active person or family — think hikes, runs, playtime, and learning new tricks together.

Sandy

🩷

 Sandy didn’t get the kind of beginning a puppy should have—found at a dump in December 2025 and growing up in an outdoor kennel. But don’t let that fool you… this girl is all heart and ready to step into her glow-up era ✨

At 5 months old and around 25–30 lbs, Sandy is a lab mix (best guess) with a gentle spirit and so much love to give. She’s just moved into foster care and is finally getting a taste of the good life—and she’s here for it.

🐾 Dog friendly
🐾 Loves people
🐾 Sweet and soft

Ariah

🩷

✨ great with people
✨ sweet and affectionate
✨ happy to entertain herself with a toy or chew
✨ professional good girl

Ravioli

🩷

 This sweet girl has been raised around children, dogs, and cats, and she’s growing into a confident, social little lady. Whether she’s exploring the yard, snuggling with her people, or supervising her brothers, Ravioli is always ready to be the center of attention.

She’s got the looks, the personality, and the charm to match.

Fusilli

✔️ Great with kids
✔️ Dog friendly
✔️ Cat friendly
✔️ Social and affectionate
✔️ Future professional cuddle expert

Farfalle

💙

At just 14 weeks old, Farfelle is serving up the perfect mix of puppy chaos and cuddle bug energy. One minute he’s zooming around investigating absolutely everything, and the next he’s curled up beside you like a tiny furry hot water bottle.

🐾 Doing great with house training

Linguine

💙

 At around 14 weeks old, Linguine is officially in Maine and ready to find his forever family!

This adorable little guy is the total package: sweet, smart, affectionate, and always happy to be part of whatever you’re doing. He’s already doing great with crate training and making excellent progress with potty training. Not bad for a baby noodle! 👏

Linguine loves people, gets along wonderfully with dogs, 

Cavatapi

💙

 At around 14 weeks old, this sweet little guy is part of our Pasta Litter and is officially ready to find a forever family of his own. He’s the perfect blend of playful puppy and cuddle bug. One minute he’s exploring the world, and the next he’s passed out in your arms like this.

Boulevardier

💙

 These adorable boys are around 3 months old and are officially getting ready to make their way north at the end of May / beginning of June 2026!

Their dad is a 15 lb Rat Terrier and mom is a 30 lb “short stack” bully mix… which means honestly your guess is as good as ours on exactly what these boys are going to look like grown up — but we do know they’re ridiculously cute and likely staying on the smaller side 

Mule

💙

The confident little comedian of the duo. He’s curious, playful, and always wants to know what’s going on. Tiny body, huge personality.


These boys are:
🐾 good with dogs, kids, cats… and probably donkeys too 😂
🐾 playful and affectionate
🐾 learning all the puppy basics
🐾 tiny but full of personality
🐾 ready for families of their own

Zed

💙

Zed is a 3-4 year old Mastiff/Pit mix. He’s good with other dogs and would happily accept a wrestling buddy, cuddle partner, or partner in crime. Cats, however, remain a mystery because Zed has not been cat tested yet.  He’s a big goofy lovebug who thinks personal space is fake and that every human he meets has been specifically waiting all day to pet him. Zed is great with kids, but fair warning — when the excitement kicks in, this roly poly wrecking ball may accidentally knock over tiny humans

Mozart

💙

Mozart  about 1 year old and has the kind of face that says,
“Father, I crave enrichment,”
while simultaneously zooming through the house like the ending scene of an action movie.

✔️ Good with all dogs
✔️ Loves all people
✔️ Cat tested
✔️ Certified cuddle conductor
✔️ Professional tail wagging enthusiast

Wasabi

💙

At around 2 years old, this compact little mixed breed dude is currently accepting applications for a foster or forever family willing to star in his next adventure. 

Wasabi looks like he walked straight out of a Pixar movie with his tiny teefs, giant expressive eyes, and permanent “wait…you’re eating without me?” face. He’s the kind of dog that could get away with crimes simply by tilting his head slightly. 

Clyde

💙

Approximately 4 months old, He’s curious, goofy, affectionate, and has the confidence of a toddler wearing a Batman cape. One minute he’s off exploring the backyard like an explorer discovering new land, the next he’s curled up in your lap like he hasn’t committed a single crime all day.

🐾 Great with kids
🐾 Loves other dogs
🐾 Friendly with literally everyone
🐾 Good with cats

Chevy

💙

At only 1.5 years old, Chevy found himself out of time at an overcrowded shelter after his brother was rescued and he was left behind. Tomorrow was supposed to be the end of his story.

Instead? This sweet boy got his second chance with Pulled From The Pits. 🖤

Chevy is the kind of dog that looks at you like he can’t believe someone finally came back for him. He’s incredibly sweet, house trained, crate trained, and passed his dog test at the shelter.

Brutus

💙

2–3 years old, Brutus is a giant blockheaded goofball with approximately zero awareness of his own size. This boy wiggles like his whole body is powered by happiness and acts like every person he meets might secretly be his long-lost best friend.

The saddest part is this is the THIRD time he’s ended up at the shelter as a stray this year… but this time nobody came looking for him.

So we did.

✔️ Dog friendly
✔️ Happy, playful, goofy personality
❓ Not cat tested yet

Piggly

💙

At approximately 4–5 years old and 68 pounds, this handsome boy is soft, affectionate, goofy, and full of personality. He’s the type of dog who quickly becomes everyone’s favorite with his expressive face, silly antics, and endless love for his people.

🐾 Loves kids
🐾 Loves other dogs
🐾 Loves everyone he meets
🐾 Walks beautifully on a leash
🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and easygoing

One of Piggly’s most entertaining qualities is that he loves to “talk.” He always has something to say and isn’t shy a

Lyon

💙

Lyon is the softer, sweeter little gentleman who prefers cuddles and thoughtful observation… until he joins in the chaos too.

Together they spend their days:
🐾 wrestling dramatically
🐾 falling asleep mid-play
🐾 committing tiny crimes
🐾 and staring at humans like they’ve never been fed before

Monty

💙

Monty is the confident little chaos goblin of the pair — always investigating, always climbing on something he shouldn’t be, and fully convinced he runs the household already

Gain

🩷

Gain is the little golden girl of the laundry basket litter and she KNOWS she’s cute. This tiny nugget has already mastered the art of looking innocent while absolutely planning puppy crimes.

She was found abandoned in a laundry basket with her sisters, but you’d never know it by how happy, snuggly, and trusting she already is.

Gain is:
✨ playful
✨ sassy
✨ confident

Sudsy

🩷

Sudsy is the tiny little shadow of the group — soft, sweet, and always quietly observing everything around her. While the others are busy causing puppy chaos, Sudsy is usually the one sneaking over for cuddles or giving you those giant “please hold me forever” eyes.

Found dumped in a laundry basket with her sisters, this little girl is already proving she’s resilient, loving, and ready for a much better future.
