Meet Cantilever!
DOB: May 2026
Weight: 13lbs (when full grown)
Disposition: Bouncy, fun loving and gregarious. If you are looking for a structural support beam of pure happiness, meet Cantilever! Don't let her engineering-inspired name fool you; this little girl is less about rigid physics and more about round, bouncy physics. Frankly, she looks like a little freaking Butterball, and she has the joyful, roll-with-it personality to match! At just 8 weeks old and a whopping 4 pounds, Cantilever is ready to anchor herself right into your heart.

History: Turned into a shelter in LA county, rescued by TBL in June 2026.

Why You'll Fall in Love with Her:

- Bouncy & Playful: She's got that signature puppy energy! She loves to bounce around, play with toys, and explore her surroundings with maximum enthusiasm.
- Professional Cuddler: Once she burns off her puppy energy, this little Butterball is ready to curl up in your lap for some serious snoozing.

The Ideal Home:
Cantilever is young, adaptable, and full of potential! She will do well in almost any loving home environment, provided her humans understand the basics of raising a young puppy. Her perfect family will need:
- Puppy Reminder: Because she's only 8 weeks old, Cantilever is still working on her potty training and basic manners. She'll need a family with patience, plenty of puppy pads, and time to dedicate to her training.
- Time for Play & Training: Someone who can handle her fun-loving energy and keep up with a frequent potty schedule.
- Lots of Affection: She thrives on engagement and human interaction, so she'd love a home where she isn't left alone for long stretches.
