Hello there, my name is Jigsaw. My brother Uno and I are the last 2 puppies still available for adoption from a litter of 11. We'll be a year old in May, so we're still young and playful, even though we are pretty "big" to be considered puppies now!

I'm not sure why I haven't been adopted yet. Because I am definitely sweet, loving and beautiful. I guess I'm a little shy sometimes at Petco, but if you can just give me a little bit of time to get to know you, then I come out of my shell. I really love other dogs and would almost rather play with them than with humans sometimes. So I'm looking for a family to adopt me that has at least one other dog to be my "buddy" that way. I'll settle in and adjust more easily, and be happier, if I have a dog brother or sister in my new home.

Right now I'm in a foster home with several other dogs and it is great! I've already figured out this "crate training" thing and I haven't even had one "accident" inside the house. At first things like the TV and vacuum scared me a little bit, but now I'm used to them and am more relaxed. I even tried to get up on the couch the other day, which is OK with my foster mom... I think that is pretty cool! I really like to go on walks and I'm glad that winter is almost over so I can have more fun outdoor time like that.

Anyway, I'm ready and just waiting for a forever family of my own. I'm already spayed and all that good stuff and I weigh around 70 lbs or so... I'm just a big lap girl, really. If you think you might like to meet me and invite me to live with you, just drop me a note.

Love, JIGSAW

OK it's me Pumpkin, and that's pretty much my motto in life. If a problem comes along, you must lick it! Don't gripe and complain and carry on like a big whiny baby... just lick it! Get on with things and make your life better! I've certainly had my share of "down and out" times but I forged on... and look at me now. The picture of health and happiness! Hallelujah!

You probably have read about me when my little varmints... uh, I mean "precious puppies" blogged their messages below. Yeah, I didn't know any better and I got knocked up last winter. Don't worry... now that I'm rescued, you can rest assured that I won't be pumping out any more critters! I am a super-duper mom though, and my 7 pups are all doing very well and making new friends, in their quests to find loving families of their own. My work with them is mostly done, although my smart, sweet and very loving personality helps them know how to "be" when they grow up!

There is one thing though that I do not like one bit... and that is SNOW. I HATE SNOW! Probably because when I was homeless (and pregnant), I had to live outside and it was horrible. So very cold and awful. The wind hurt my face and chilled me to the bone! So now when I see snow outside, I really really really don't want to go out there! Just keep me inside, all safe and warm on my blankies, thank you very much. This morning when my foster mom opened the door to take me out to potty, the snow drifts were taller than me! Huh? NO CHANCE IN H*LL of getting me outside in that! HA! Well, my foster mom showed me, she just lifted me up and carried me to a better place in the yard. But you can bet that I was quick about my "business" and hurried back inside to my blankies and breakfast.

Anyway, if you too prefer being inside and snuggled up on cold winter days, maybe you are a great match for me. Why don't you send me an email, and we'll see what happens?

Love, PUMPKIN

OK. Hmmm. Now how do I turn this thing on?

Am I the cutest puppy ever, or what?
Hey, it's me, Doc, and I'm sort of the "leader" in this little group of Seven Dwarfs puppies. I'm a very handsome boy, as you can tell from my picture! I was pretty mad at the world and especially at humans at first. I mean, who would deliberately leave our poor mama dog out in the dead of winter, cold and all alone, and pregnant? It's snowy and icy and freezing awful in the winter! What kind of mean and stupid person lets that happen? Never mind that our mama never should have been pregnant in the first place. Of course I am happy to be here and be in a safe place (now)... but heck, our mama is just a mixed breed girl who should have been spayed long ago. Grrrr!

We're just lucky I guess. Our mama found shelter in a little outdoor garage and that's where we were born. At least we had some protection from the wind. She is such a good mama! We really love her! And now that we are all safe and together with the rescue people, life is much much better.

We went to a pretty neat place last weekend called "Petco." The rescue people called it an "adoption event." There were so many people there and they all wanted to hug us and tell us how precious and perfect we are. Which sure made it a fun day! My siblings and I (and our mama) got to make a whole bunch of really nice new human friends who promised that our lives will be happy from now on. That's darn great news! I got to chew on some shoestrings (that's fun!!!) and play with some new toys. I got so tired that I had to even take a nap right there in the middle of everything.

Anyway, now I know that humans can be "good" and they do really care about us. I like making new friends and I can't wait to meet my new forever family, who will LOVE ME for the rest of my life.

See ya later!
Love, Doc
