Visitation of the puppies in their foster homes is not possible. Applicant's choice of puppy is made from the website pictures and that puppy's name must be designated on the application.

Meet "Pee Chu"~ She is the firecracker of the litter! This little female is a rich, golden color and has plenty of personality. She is the first to investigate everything, and is afraid of nothing! What a beauty.

This sweet litter of pups were unwanted by their owner. Can you possibly imagine that? They were surrendered to our rescue at 5 weeks old. They weigh ~5# now and we guess they will be no more than 45# full grown.

These pups are so darling they surely deserve a home where they WILL be wanted and loved. Won't you please consider bringing one of these sweethearts into your home to love and care for?

The puppies will be adopted from CHAMBERSBURG, PA and must be picked up at this location. A home visit is required before adoption approval.
