About PupPup

Puppup came north from Georgia after spending his early life outside, chained up. He’s sweet-tempered and forms attachments with people he trusts, though you’ll notice he needs a little time to warm up at first. The volunteers and staff have seen him come out of his shell—and with patience, you’ll find yourself on his favorites list, too. Puppup needs an adult-only household where he can feel safe and secure. He isn’t a match for homes with cats. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
