Meet Alma, your new best friend!

At just 3.5 months old and 11 pounds, Alma is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet cuddle companion. She came to our rescue alongside her mama, who was fortunate enough to find her forever home and head north. Now, its Almas turn to find the family shes been waiting for.

Her foster cant say enough wonderful things about her:

Loves to play, but is just as happy curled up beside you on the couch.
A total lap dog who never turns down snuggles.
Smart and eager to learn, she catches on to commands quickly!
Great with kids, dogs and even cats.
Crate trained for bedtime, sleeps through the night and keeps her crate clean.
Loves chewing on bones and durable toys.
Curious little girl who enjoys watching the world go by from the window.
Confident enough to tackle stairs and hop onto the bed all by herself.

Alma has a big personality packed into a tiny body. Shes affectionate, determined, endlessly entertaining and ready to fill a home with laughter, love, and puppy kisses. If youre looking for a loyal companion who will happily play by your side and then curl up in your lap for a nap, Alma may be your perfect match.
