Meet Starla, a lively and playful puppy full of curiosity and zest for life. With her bright eyes and wagging tail, she's always ready for an adventure or a cuddle. Starla and her siblings, Betsy, Yankee, Glory and Liberty (all up for adoption) were found abandoned in a ditch in Mississippi by a kind woman who made sure they got to safety, and now they're thriving and ready for families of their own. At this young age, the world is one big adventure. Every sound, smell, toy, and new friend is exciting to them. Whether they're chasing after a ball, tumbling around with each other, or snuggling up for attention, these puppies are full of playful energy and endless affection. Each one has a happy, loving personality and the kind of joyful spirit that brings laughter and life into a home. They are social, curious, and eager to bond with the people around them. Like all young puppies, they will need continued training, patience, and guidance as they grow, but they are already proving to be wonderful companions with so much potential. If your household is looking for a fun, lovable puppy to grow up with, one of these sweet babies could be the perfect match. They are ready to leave their rough beginning behind and start the next chapter of their lives with families who will love them forever.

Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?
