You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.At just 5 months old, Painter is already living life in bold, colorful strokes. This medium-sized, delightfully chunky village mix is equal parts explorer, comedian, and professional chew artist (seriously—if it exists, he’s probably tried to taste it).

Painter greets the world like it’s one big, exciting mystery waiting to be solved. New sights? Amazing. New smells? Even better. New friends? YES, PLEASE. He absolutely *adores* other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine buddy who can keep up with his zoomies and backyard expeditions.

This outgoing little guy is always ready for action—whether it’s a hike, a romp at the park, or a mission to locate the squeakiest toy in existence. And when the adventure winds down? He’s more than happy to plop down beside you, proudly showing off whatever treasure (or shoe ) he’s managed to claim.

Painter is still a puppy, which means he’s learning the ropes and will need a family ready to guide him with patience, consistency, and plenty of chew toys to channel his enthusiasm. In return, you’ll get a loyal, hilarious, and endlessly curious companion who makes every day brighter.

If your life is missing a little chaos, a lot of love, and a splash of puppy-sized adventure... Painter is ready to paint himself right into your heart
