Meet the Mixed Paint Litter” — seven tiny masterpieces rescued from a nightmare and now painting a brand new future.

Picture this: During a storm, one tiny puppy was found trapped deep inside a culvert, covered in painful ant bites and crying for help while her devoted mama paced frantically nearby, unable to save her baby. What rescuers discovered next was even more heartbreaking — six more puppies hidden inside a hollow tree trunk, scared, hungry, and clinging to each other for comfort.

After hours of careful rescue work, every single puppy was brought safely to freedom. And now? These once-forgotten babies are thriving, playful little bundles of fluff, mischief, and kisses.

Their mama Ivy is incredibly intelligent, gentle, and devoted — and her puppies are already showing those same smart Border Collie traits. Whether they’re tumbling over each other in play, chasing toys at lightning speed, or melting into your arms for cuddles after a busy puppy adventure, these babies are impossible not to fall in love with.

Dottie, Indie, Palette, Smudge, Picasso, Ink, and Sketch are each their own little work of art — full of personality, curiosity, and puppy charm. They are looking for families ready for all the fun, chaos, love, and training that comes with raising a smart, active puppy.

From storm drains and hollow trees… to soft beds, full bellies, and second chances.
