Story
If you're looking for a handsome, quirky puppy with a heart full of love, 50 Cent (aka Fiddy) might just be the one for you! At only 12 weeks old, Fiddy is already showing off his unique personality and irresistible charm. With his striking tri-color coat and adorable stripes on his chest, Fiddy is sure to turn heads wherever he goes. Fiddy’s story began when he and his siblings came into rescue after an accidental breeding. His mom was unable to care for them, so they were lovingly bottle-fed in a foster home from just days old. As a result, Fiddy is especially close to his human family members, having developed strong bonds with the people who cared for him during his early days. Despite his rough start, Fiddy is an easygoing and affectionate pup who loves everyone he meets. He’s always ready for a good time and cannot understand why everyone doesn’t want to wrestle with him! While he loves to get his energy out with playtime, he’s also known for his aloof nature—he’s more of an observer who occasionally steps in as the referee during puppy wrestling matches. That said, he’s never far from the action and is more than happy to join in when he feels like it. Fiddy is a very smart puppy with loads of potential. He’s already learned "sit" and "wait," though he’s still figuring out how to fully embrace crate time (he’s neutral about it but deals with it just fine). Since he didn’t have the benefit of a mother to teach him doggy manners, Fiddy would do best in a home with an established dog who can show him the ropes and help him understand doggy social cues. He’s curious and eager to learn, so we know he’s going to be a quick study with the right guidance. Fiddy may not have been exposed to young children yet, but he’s been around adults and teens and has been nothing but accepting of everyone he’s met. He’s also lived with a cat, and while he can’t quite understand why he can’t chase the feline friend, he’s respectful of their boundaries. Above all, Fiddy is a lovebug. He adores snuggling with his canine friends and humans alike, and when he’s not wrestling or watching the action, he’s perfectly content to curl up and take a nap. This sweet, comical puppy is full of personality, and we know he will bring so much joy and laughter to his forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion who’s smart, affectionate, and a little bit goofy, Fiddy just might be your perfect match! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

Story
Minaj is a sassy, fun-loving young lady who is ready to take on the world! With her unique tan, blonde, and fawn coloring, she stands out from her siblings and is sure to steal your heart with her bold personality. This spunky puppy is a perfect blend of Bulldog traits and Shepherd coloring, and she has plenty of sass to go with her style. Minaj’s journey started when she, along with her brothers, was brought to rescue after an accidental breeding. With her mom unable to care for her and her siblings, Minaj was lovingly bottle-fed in a foster home from just a few days old. Because she didn’t have the chance to learn from her mom, Minaj is still figuring out how to "dog," which is why it's important for her to go to a home with an established dog to show her the ropes. Minaj is a very social pup who loves everyone she meets and is always up for some playtime! She’s an energetic little adventurer who is determined to climb or leap over any obstacle in her way. She would be the perfect match for an active family that enjoys bringing their dog along on their activities. Minaj’s curiosity also extends to the resident cat in her foster home, though she is unable to access it—she’s just very interested in the furry creature and wants to make sure they’re not hiding anything fun. While Minaj has mostly been around adults and teens, her love for humans knows no bounds. She’s very human-oriented and doesn't seem to care if you're a dog or a person—she just wants to be involved in the action. This sweet, confident little lady is a true people-pleaser who will fit right in with any family. Minaj is playful and full of energy, with a particular love for tug-of-war and fetch. But when the action settles down, she is just as happy to curl up and snuggle with you. She’ll be sure to bring excitement, laughter, and love to your home. Minaj is already making strides in her training, knowing basic commands like “sit” and “wait,” and while she’s neutral about the crate, she handles it just fine. This tenacious and determined pup has a heart full of courage and an unstoppable spirit—she’s ready for her next big adventure with her forever family! If you're looking for a brave, energetic, and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and laughter, Minaj is your girl. Just don't tell her she’s not a human—she might not believe you!
