Meet Tyler!

At just over 2.5 months old, Tyler is a happy little puppy with a bright future ahead of her. She and her siblings were incredibly lucky to get a second chance. Their mama was rescued from the streets just in time and went into labor within 24 hours of finally being safe. Because our rescue stepped in, Tyler will never have to grow up wondering where her next meal will come from or whether she’ll make it through the night.

Now this sweet girl is doing exactly what puppies should be doing: playing hard, napping harder, exploring everything, and learning about the world one goofy moment at a time. Tyler is affectionate, curious, silly, and full of puppy charm. She’s the kind of little dog who will happily follow you around the house, make toys out of random objects, and eventually grow into the loyal companion every family hopes for.

Like all puppies, Tyler is a blank slate. She’s still learning everything — house training, manners, routines, confidence, and how to be the best dog she can be. That means her future family needs to be ready for all the normal puppy stages: chewing, accidents, zoomies, training sessions, and lots of patience along the way. Raising a puppy takes time and commitment, but the reward is a lifelong bond unlike anything else. We’re looking for an adopter who understands that puppies don’t stay tiny forever, but they do stay family forever.

If you’re ready for years of love, laughter, muddy paws, happy tail wags, and unconditional companionship, apply at the link below and tell us why Tyler should grow up in your home.

**Tyler will be spayed and ready to go to her forever home by the first or second weekend in June.

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