Meet Bishop!

At just 2.5 months old, Bishop already has a story that will stick with you. He and his sisters were left in a tub outside a church with a simple note asking someone—anyone—to take care of them. Our team answered that call, and while their journey started with heartbreak (we sadly lost one of the babies early on), Bishop and his two sisters have blossomed into the happiest little survivors you could ever meet.

Bishop is a certified “cute little nugget” with the most adorable short, stubby legs and a personality that’s equal parts playful goofball and snuggly sweetheart. His days consist of the perfect puppy routine: play hard, cuddle harder, nap, repeat. He’s curious, smart, and already starting to learn the ropes of potty training. With a consistent routine and a little patience, he’s going to grow into an incredible companion.

As for his breed? Your guess is as good as ours—and that’s part of the fun. We can’t guarantee his mix or exact full-grown size, but based on his current growth, we expect him to stay on the smaller side. What we can guarantee is 100% pure, irresistible puppy charm. Bishop is good with kids, cats and other dogs.

Bishop is looking for a home that’s ready to love him for exactly who he is—no matter what mix he turns out to be. Puppies like Bishop don’t stay available for long, so if you’re ready for a lifetime of laughs, snuggles, and unconditional love, don’t wait.

Fill out an application at the link below and tell us why Bishop belongs with you.

Bishop is getting neutered mid-May and will be ready to transport to his new home after he heals up.

LOCATION & TRANSPORT:

This dog is currently in South Mississippi. Local and out-of-town adopters are welcome. For out of town adopters, we offer virtual meet-and-greets and can arrange transport to many states in the Northeast. (The $500 adoption fee includes transport to the city on this listing. Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped.
