A Note from the Foster: Meet Pooka 💕
Pookie is a sweet little lab mix girl who is still very much in that baby stage of life—and it’s honestly the best part. If you’re looking for puppy breath, tiny snores, and lots of nap-time snuggles, she’s your girl.
Despite being so little, Pookie is already doing amazing with potty training. Even in 0-degree weather, she’s been pooping and peeing outside in record time. Of course, because she’s still a baby, an accident or two may happen along the way—but she’s showing incredible awareness that when we go outside, it’s time to potty.
Pookie loves chewing on her toys, playing with the other dogs, and being around kids. She’s curious, playful, and full of puppy joy. She is a bit mouthy, but that’s completely normal for her age, and she’ll thrive with continued guidance, structure, and good leadership. We’ll keep working with her while she’s with us to help set her up for success.
If you’re ready to welcome a cuddly, playful, still-learning baby puppy into your home, Pookie is going to steal your heart. 🐾💗
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
