    Loves playing fetch with people. Found with her siblings Mocha and Pepper on the seaside probably with the intention of drowning them. When they were found, the pups were happily chasing each other and eating sand. They were not skittish at all. Currently she’s living with 2 adult dogs, one 1 year old and another 6 year old. When she plays too vigorously or misbehaves, the 6 year old would come and discipline her. Pear always obeys. At the same time, she plays very well with the 1 year old. She also lives with 3 kitties. She loves playing and teasing the cats if the cats let her, but would not pursue if the cats walk away. Pear is an affectionate kisser and would greet everything everyone with kisses by jumping on them. For this reason, supervision is very important when meeting small children. Although she’s not skittish, Pear does need some time to warm to strangers and a new environment. Pear will do well in a family that is active and can keep up with her puppy energy!

    July 2020, a family of 4 puppies was abandoned on the roadside grass. Poter was the only survivor of this family and fortunately rescued on July 29th. 

    Poter has very bubbly personalituy and is friendly to both human and dogs. He likes to play and “bite” around for fun with other puppies, also enjoys running on the grass and along the beach. Overall Poter is an awesome house dog without any redflag for adoption.

    Terra’s mom Leah was rescued for spaying procedure after giving birth to her 4 babies in a factory. The rescue team planned to help the entire family, however Terra was not willing to leave.

    At first, the rescuers left some food by a live trap cage under the fence , but Terra refused to come any close. So they removed the cage, brought over her mom and hope she would come out to interect with Leah. This did not change Terra’s mind after 3 days. Fortunately, the owner of the factory offered some help and Terra was eventaully able to reunite with her family.

    Terra’s current forster family consists of a kind lady and some other puppies and cats. She adapted to the new environment very fast and started making friends the second day after she arrived at the new home. As of now, Terra is ready to start the next chapter of her life!
