Whizzy - The Tiny LoveBug - Labrador Retriever and Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Carolina, Carolina

Whizzy — The Beach Cave Baby

Meet Whizzy, a 2-month-old, 4.5-lb little lovebug whose life almost ended before it even had the chance to begin. Whizzy and his 11 siblings were discovered tucked deep among the rocks at a beach in Puerto Rico, trapped inside a little beach cave as the tide was coming in. With the water rising, rescuers climbed down into the rocks and pulled the puppies out one by one before they could be washed away.

You would never know Whizzy had such a scary beginning. This tiny boy is SO cuddly, playful, sweet, and ridiculously loving. He loves everyone and everything — people, other dogs, playtime, snuggles — and is happiest when he can curl up close to someone and soak up all the affection he can get.

At just 4.5 lbs now, Whizzy is still a tiny baby. Our vet’s best guess is that he’ll be around 35 lbs or under when fully grown, but with a mystery rescue puppy, adult size is never a guarantee!

Whizzy is in a NYC foster and can be adopted in various surrounding cities and towns (including Boston)!

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
