Story
Little Jackie Paper is a sweet little boy who is growing up too fast! He`s looking for a family who can give him the puppyhood he deserves. Jackie dreams of frolicking in the autumn mist; and he doesn`t need a fancy home by the sea. Like all young puppies, he`ll need lots of training and management to prevent him from getting into strings, and ceiling wax, and other fancy stuff. You don`t have to be a magic dragon to give him the perfect home! JACKIE PAPER A574857

Story
This dog`s adoption fee has been generously sponsored!Meet the 1-year-old Terrier mix of your dreams, it`s Enzo! Enzo is a sweet and silly puppy, always ready to bring a smile to your face. He`s curious, playful, and super treat motivated which makes him a great companion for training! This pup loves giving kisses and flopping into your lap just as much as he adores playtime.Enzo loves his people so much and is still building the confidence to spend time alone. He’d love to find a home who are ready to practice crate training (or bring him everywhere)!Like the wiggly worm he is, Enzo loves to show off just how excited he is with wiggles and the occasional jump. With the help of his volunteer friends, he`s learning that he can offer nicer cues than jump which will earn him delicious rewards! He`s much calmer with people he knows since he knows exactly what you expect from him. He`s bound to be your best friend and always give the biggest smiles so come meet Enzo today!
