Winnie Lynn

I have wanted a dog for years, but my living situation didn't allow it. My situation changed and I could finally get my dog. I knew I wanted to adopt a dog rather than buy one from a store or breeder. I was looking for Dobermans or Boxer types, but if I couldn't find one of those I knew I wanted a big dog. I was on Craigslist and saw a dog through PUP, not what I was looking for but I clicked on their website and started looking at the dogs available for adoption. I stopped when I saw the picture of Winnie and I fell for her instantly! I don't know what it was, I swear she was looking at me through my computer screen asking to come home with me. I thought about it for a few days, never being able to get Winnie out of my mind. I decided to fill out the application and start the adoption process. Arrangements were made for Winnie and I to meet at an adoption event. When I saw here prance in the store my heart melted and I knew she was my girl. I took her home that day and start
ed to get to know my new daughter. I was a little worried at first, she didn't make a sound and didn't want to leave my side. Two days later, we both knew that she was home. The first time she growled and barked I wanted to throw a party. I never expected to be the proud father of a 6 pound little girl, but I've never been happier. Adopting Winnie was the best decision I've ever made and she's made my house complete. Her and I have already taken a road trip to Oregon to meet her family and she was a hit! Anyone looking to adopt a small dog should go through PUP, the adoption process was easy, Winnie was fixed, micro-chipped, and taken to the vet for a check up before she came home with me. The company cares about the dogs in their care and it shows. Winnie's foster mom Sara was a sweetheart and took very good care of Winnie. I can't say enough good things about the company or the adoption process. Thank you PUP for bringing my little girl into my life, we're going to have a
lot of fun together for many many years to come!

Jazz the Poodle

We'd been looking for a poodle for a while, so when PUP called to say that they had a new miniture poodle ready for adoption we went right over to see him. Jazz took to my husband and I right away, and we brought him home that night. Jazz is 7 years old, so not a spring puppy anymore, which fits right into our lifestyle. He was so quiet on the ride home and the whole next day, I wondered if he even had a voice box. No bark, no growl, no whine. Just a nice shake of the tail. By the second day, though, he found his voice. Now when anyone comes to the door, or walks down the street, or stops at the neighbors house -- he barks. Not excessively, but enough to let people know that this is HIS house now!
