My Story
Oh, you think you’re strong. You think you can resist. But I see you over there, clenching your jaw, pretending you’re immune to the overwhelming cuteness of these puppies. I know the truth. The second you lay eyes on this fluffy little heart-stealer, your resolve will crumble like a stale cookie. So go ahead—fight it all you want. But deep down, we both know how this ends. With you, filling out that adoption application while pretending it was totally your idea all along. Anyway, meet your next guilty pleasure—Shenandoah! ?
Shenandoah is a six-week-old, 4lb female Shepherd mix, and yes, I see you squinting at that weight, wondering just how big this little fluff nugget is going to get. The honest answer? I have no idea. Right now, she looks like she’ll be a nice, manageable 40-ish pounds, but let’s be real—rescue puppies love making a fool out of me. One minute they’re tiny, the next they’re beefy little tanks, so let’s just say somewhere in the 40-60lb range and hope she doesn’t take it personally. She’s great with other dogs and adores playing with her siblings, which basically means she’s got a solid foundation in tag-team chaos. As for kids and cats—well, she hasn’t met any yet, but let’s not kid ourselves. She’s definitely going to worship the kids (and occasionally drive them bonkers), and as for the cats? Oh, they’ll act all offended at first, but give it time. Even the grumpiest feline won’t be able to resist her charms. She hasn’t been out schmoozing with new people yet, but considering how much she loves when her foster mom dotes on her, I’d say she’s going to be a social butterfly in no time. So, if you’re looking for a future bestie who will both entertain and mildly exasperate you (in the best way possible), Shenandoah is your girl!
If you’re looking for a couch potato, a slow-moving sloth, or a turtle who contemplates life’s mysteries at a glacial pace—keep scrolling, my friend. Shenandoah is not your girl. Her energy level is a solid 6 out of 10, which means she’s basically a caffeinated baby goat—bouncing around in excitement, then immediately flopping over for a power nap like she just ran a marathon. She’s still a tiny pup, so her schedule consists of eating, playing, napping, repeat—like a college student during finals week, but with significantly fewer questionable life choices. She’s sweet, gentle, and loves coming over for pets, her little tail wagging like she just won the lottery (spoiler: the jackpot is you giving her attention). She’s a pro at playing with toys, wrestling her siblings, and—her personal favorite—squeezing under the patio table for a nap, because apparently, that’s the prime real estate for quality snoozing. If you’re looking for a puppy who will bring equal parts zoomies and snuggles into your life, Shenandoah is ready to take applications!
Look, adopting a puppy isn’t just about soaking up all the adorable cuddles and taking cute Instagram photos—it also means actual responsibility. I know, shocking. Shenandoah may be tiny now, but she’s got a whole lot of learning to do, and guess who gets to be her life coach? That’s right, you. First up, socialization. She needs to meet all the people, see all the places, and encounter all the weird things in the world so she doesn’t grow up thinking the vacuum is a soul-sucking demon or that the neighbor’s garden gnome is plotting against her. Then there’s training. She doesn’t come pre-installed with basic manners, so if you don’t want an adorable chaos gremlin ruling your house, you’ll need to teach her the ways of polite society. That includes potty training—which means many, many trips outside, sometimes at ungodly hours. Leash training? Oh yeah, that’s on you too. Right now, she probably sees a leash as either a chew toy or a personal insult, but with patience (and probably some bribery), she’ll get the hang of it. And of course, let’s talk puppy-proofing. You may think your house is safe, but Shenandoah will prove otherwise. It’s not personal, she’s just exploring life with her mouth.
So, now that you’ve read all about Shenandoah and definitely fallen head over heels for her (don’t even try to deny it), the next step is simple—fill out that adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app. Seriously, don’t just sit there thinking about it. We see you. Once you submit it, we’ll send it over to her foster family so they can give their official approval. If all goes well, you get the honor of welcoming this tiny, adorable fluffball into your home. But there’s a catch—you have to come pick her up in Oklahoma City. That’s right, no magical puppy delivery service, no teleportation—just good old-fashioned road tripping to claim your new bestie. Shenandoah will be ready to take over your life around March 22, so go ahead and start puppy-proofing your house now. Now, quit procrastinating and fill out that application—this level of cuteness won’t stay available forever!
