AGE: 12 weeks (as of 4/11/26) WEIGHT: 10 lbs Meet adorable and gentle Velvet. She is a smart girl who is food motivated to sit, come, and show calmness. All she needs is a very gentle leader and she will continue to grow into a wonderful loyal and obedient best friend. She has a more timid soul, but really wants to make friends and will show you by immediately asking for a belly rub. She’s loves to snuggle and bury her nose into you, but is also very happy snoozing in her den/crate. She will vocalize to you when she is afraid and/or lonely. She would do best in a forever home that can give her plenty of outdoor play, intellectual stimulation, lots of exercise, gentle calm reassurance, and snuggles. Even as she grows out of her puppy stage these things will be crucial to her happiness, nervous system, and loyalty. She is very gentle and happy around young children. She is doing great with house training and loves being praised for it, but is still learning so a watchful eye is still needed. Velvet can’t wait to bring joy and snuggles to a forever friend! The V litter came to us from our rescue partner in California. HOW TO ADOPT: THIS dog is NOT in the shelter. For puppies in foster care, you MUST submit an application via EMAIL to smpetfinder@gmail.com. Please note in the email subject which puppy you are interested in. Go to: http://www.smallmiraclesrescue.org and click "How to Adopt". There you will find the dog application available for download. The more information you provide, the faster the process is for all of us. Once you are approved to adopt, we will schedule an appointment to see the puppy in person and you will adopt and take it home that day. Due to the (usual) speed and ease of our adoption process, PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT RIGHT NOW. If you are not ready to adopt within the next couple of days, we totally understand - just wait to apply until you are ready.

Adoption fee for our dogs is $375, $40 for a microchip and registration and $25 for a 3 month supply of heartworm preventative, for a TOTAL of $440.
