Tito

My boyfriend and I were originally planning to adopt a dog we saw at the Seattle Humane Society, but when we got there we found out the dog we wanted was already adopted. Disappointed, we decided to head over to Bellevue Square since we were in the area. The first store we walked into was Macy's and coincidentally there was a P.U.P. event going on. That was when my boyfriend laid his eyes on Tito; his name was Chief at the time but after looking at his little face, he deserved a name as cute and sweet as he was. My boyfriend turned to me excitedly and said "Look at that little guy!" When I turned to look, I'd experienced my first "love at first sight". We came over to pet him and we asked his foster mother many questions about the adoption process and how much we just fell in love with him. After two weeks of the adoption process we were able to take him home. At first he was really quite and a bit playful, but now his personality just shines through his little smiles and kis
ses that he gives us everyday. We look forward to experiencing Tito's first holiday season with us and the many more years ahead as a family.

Champ/Joey

Joey (formerly Champ) is settling in very smoothly. He figured out the dog door quickly, and enjoys going for rides in the truck and walks at the park. He and Ranger (adopted last April) became instant best buddies and have so much fun wrestling and racing around the yard! I tried to take a photo but it was always a blur of motion. You'll have to imagine them racing across the grass, charging through the leaves, and leaping over the bushes. The tug-of-war matches are hysterical! Had to wait till the end of the day to get a picture of the two of them. Joey is a mellow cuddler when laying next to you on the couch but is always up for any game. Thanks for saving this gem!

Ted Update

I never thought I'd have a small dog, being raised with larger breeds my entire life. However, from the day I saw Ted's picture on PUPs website, I was in love. He is my little buddy, we often sit together and soak up as much sunlight as we can. He brings joy to everyone that meets him with his unique smile! Thank you PUP for matching me with Ted!

Penelope

My husband and I were not looking to adopt a dog when we met Penelope. Penelope (original name Alexis) was a foster dog and was being fostered by a close friend of ours. In mid October we went to visit our friend who was fostering Penelope and fell in love with her almost immediately. When we left for home later that night, I already began to miss her. Never have I had that happen while visiting a friends dog...but...this was different. Penelope was different. it only took 1 discussion with my husband and we sent our adoption paperwork in. The problem was I was already so in love that I crossed my fingers she would be ours. Luck was on our side and we were able to adopt Penelope.

Penelope is such a great dog. Loving, affectionate, extremely smart and trainable, a good walker, and a great addition to our new family. My husband and I are newly married (2 months) and Penelope just makes our new family feel 100% complete.

Now what we have Penny she helps us get up in the morning (we both are horrible morning people) and she also gets us out walking more. She brings a smile to our face every day and we have so much fun with her.

Thank you PUP for rescuing Penelope. She is such a great dog.
