Waffles Last night, this tiny little guy became an unfortunate owner surrender… and honestly, our hearts just can’t accept that this sweet baby has to grow up in a shelter. Waffles is only 12 weeks old, full of puppy charm, floppy ears, and sweetness. We believe he is some kind of Shepherd mix, and just look at him sporting his little tie… dressed in his Sunday best hoping someone notices him today and says, “that’s my puppy.” Like all puppies, Waffles is adorable now, but we want families to remember this is a lifelong commitment. Puppies grow up. They need training, patience, guidance, vet care, and love for the next 10–12+ years. We are looking for someone ready to truly make him part of the family through every stage of life. No puppy should have to spend their days growing up surrounded by loud barking and kennel walls. This is supposed to be the fun part of his life — learning about toys, naps on the couch, belly rubs, and what it feels like to be safe and loved. If you think you’re ready to commit to this adorable little guy, please submit an application to: Healthyheartsproject.org/adopt A team member will reach out within 24–48 hours to schedule a meet and greet. Let’s make sure Waffles doesn’t spend another night in the shelter.
