Cletus and Snickers were born on January 10, 2026, and are almost 4 months old. They are two of a litter of eight puppies. I have successfully rehomed six of their siblings, but I have not yet been able to find homes for these two. Unfortunately, I do not have the time, space, or capacity to properly care for both a dog and two growing puppies long-term. My priority is finding them safe, loving homes where they will receive the attention and care they need. Both Cletus and Snickers are very loving, energetic, and inquisitive puppies. They enjoy running, exploring, and wrestling with each other. They will thrive in homes that can provide structure, patience, and consistent training to help them grow into well-behaved adult dogs. They are looking for responsible, caring individuals or families who have the time and commitment to meet their needs and help them continue developing into their best selves.
