Meet the Prairie Pups! Introducing Gopher! He is an handsome little guy who is looking for a forever home along his brother Sage and sisters Savannah, Wildflower, and Meadow (also available on SOS). These precious pups appear to be a Chihuahua mix. Potential adopters should keep in mind tiny-breed dogs are often not a good fit for households with multiple and/or young children. They are playful and friendly with everyone they meet. The pups have started potty training and crate training and so far, so good, but being so young they will need more practice. They're eager to please, toy and treat motivated little squirts, so puppy training classes will be lots of fun! The Prairie pups are pretty quiet, but you might hear them bark when playing. They love toys and are happy to chill with a ball when not playing with you! Gopher would love to find a forever family that has lots of time and patience to raise a puppy properly, and who has lots of extra time for loving and cuddles. If you are looking for a puppy, Gopher, or one of his littermates may be perfect for you! Fill out an application today and let him know that you'd love to have him join your family! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label.

If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
