Meet Cupcake!

At just over 3 months old, Cupcake is living proof that a second chance can change everything. His mama was rescued from the streets just in time, and within 24 hours of reaching safety, she gave birth to Cupcake and his siblings. Instead of facing the uncertainty of life outdoors, Cupcake has spent his puppyhood knowing warm beds, full bellies, and people who care about him.

This handsome little guy is growing into exactly what a puppy should be—happy, playful, curious, and always ready to investigate whatever is happening around him. Whether he's wrestling with his siblings, discovering new toys, or finding the perfect spot for a puppy nap, Cupcake approaches life with enthusiasm and a wagging tail.

Like any young puppy, he's still learning all the important things that come with growing up. His future family should be ready for puppy training, housebreaking, teething, and all the silly antics that make raising a puppy both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The effort you put in now will pay off with years of loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love.

Most importantly, Cupcake deserves a family that understands adoption is a lifelong commitment. He's not looking for a temporary stop along the way—he's looking for his forever people. The ones who will celebrate his milestones, laugh at his goofy moments, and love him through every stage of life.

If you're ready to welcome a sweet, growing puppy into your family and give him the forever home he deserves, apply at the link below and tell us why Cupcake should choose you.

Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

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. Note: We cannot guarantee breed mix. It is an estimate based on observation and any known history.
