Dog Breed: Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Meet the Mississippi Miracle Litter! ❤️ Five tiny adventurers who beat the odds and are now ready for loving forever homes!

As puppies, they require: Supervision and time — They cannot be left alone more than 2–3 hours total per day. ️ Feeding 3 times a day Frequent potty breaks Training & socializing — This is CRITICAL.
