Meet this sweet 13-week-old pup from Mississippi!
Currently around 13 weeks old and believed to be a possible Lab/Pointer mix, this little one has already overcome a tough start in life.

This puppy was part of a litter discovered by a caring neighbor after their elderly owner had to move into a nursing home. Sadly, the family chose not to keep the mama dog or her puppies and left them behind. Thankfully, the neighbor stepped in, brought them to safety, and reached out for rescue support.

Now safe and thriving, this pup is ready for a fresh start filled with love, stability, and a forever family. Like any young puppy, they’re looking for guidance, patience, and lots of affection as they grow into a wonderful companion.
