Meet Cupcake! Born around September 2018, this little cutie pie will likely be around 80 pounds when she’s all grown up. Did you notice her heart-shaped nose?
She is eternally happy! When we first got this little dynamo, she had a broken left leg, a fractured right leg, and an injured hip. Through her surgeries, she was like “The Little Engine That Could.” She would chug right along with her healing apparatus like it was normal, and she didn’t let it get her down. She healed wonderfully!
Cupcake loves to play! Squeaky toys are her favorite. Her forever doggy companion should play very gently. She cannot be around dogs that will jump on her, because her hip could become re-injured.
She loves people and is very outgoing. If there are children in the house, they should be older than age ten. This way, they know not to lean on her or play roughly with her, again because of her hip.
She is less of a barker and more of a talker, and mostly when she’s playing with other dogs. She says, “Aaaarrrrr, aarrrah!”
Cupcake is doing well with her house training, is leash trained to puppy standards, is crate trained, and rides happily in a car.

6) The FASTEST way to be considered for a puppy is to submit an application. We are continuously working through applications, including those that were received in advance of yours. It is very likely that by the time your application has been approved, the puppy may no longer be available.
7) Please do not inquire about a puppy's availability; the puppy is still available if the listing is displayed. Emailing for status updates will only result in a delay of your application review, and put you to the back of the line.
All of the individuals responsible for reviewing applications are volunteering what little bit of time s/he has in addition to their own dogs, families, careers, and responsibilities.
