Story
Meet Zorro! Zorro is an 8-month-old mixed-breed pup with a charming kink in his tail that earned him his name! This sweet and playful boy is the perfect mix of fun and cuddles. He loves chewing on Nylabones, playing fetch, and watching out the window for squirrels and passing dogs. Zorro is a smart pup who quickly learned his foster family’s routine. He knows “sit” and “gentle,” is potty trained, crate trained, and even puts himself to bed when he’s ready to sleep! He also loves his weekly trips to doggy daycare and gets so excited when it’s time to go. While he enjoys walks, he’s happy with just a short one. Great with kids, dogs, and cats, Zorro is a well-mannered, snuggly boy ready to find his forever home! To apply to adopt, visit tailsofhopewi.org.

Story
Meet Dahlia, a sweet and lovable puppy with a unique and stunning coat that might appear black at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you’ll notice the rich, warm shades of brown woven throughout—truly a beauty to behold. Dahlia is the perfect balance of playful and laid-back, making her an ideal companion for a variety of households. While she enjoys playing with other dogs and kids, Dahlia is on the calmer side and is content to lounge nearby when playtime winds down. She’s still a little unsure about the snow and cold weather—this is her first experience with it, and she’s taking her time to adjust to the chillier temperatures. But when it comes to snuggling up inside, she’s in her element. Dahlia loves being held and cuddled, and will melt your heart with her soft gaze, always wanting to be close to you. As a young puppy, Dahlia is still learning her manners. Potty training and crate training are in progress, but she’s a quick learner and eager to please. Her gentle nature and affectionate personality make her the perfect addition to any family looking for a sweet, loving companion who knows how to balance energy with calm. If you’re looking for a puppy who enjoys playtime but will also happily curl up by your side for a quiet moment, Dahlia could be the perfect match for you!
