About Cricket

Cricket is a lively young puppy on a journey from a tough start to finding a loving home. He and his sister, Beetle, were discovered underweight and covered in fleas, abandoned in a ditch near Shumway. Fortunately, those days are behind him, and Cricket is now ready for a brighter future. As a puppy, he embodies all the playful energy and curiosity that come with this stage of life. His new family should be prepared to provide him with training, structure, and plenty of playtime to help him grow into a well-rounded adult dog. Cricket deserves to know the joy of having a warm bed, regular meals, adventures, and a family that will cherish him. Because he and Beetle are being adopted into separate homes, each puppy can focus on building confidence and a strong bond with their new families.
