About Pineapple

Meet Pineapple, short for Pineapple Upside Down Cake! Estimated to be born in mid-May 2026, this energetic boy currently weighs in at 18 lbs and is still growing. He sports a sleek black coat with a striking white chest, white toes, and a playful tip of white on his tail. Pineapple is a friendly pup who thrives on playtime with other dogs. To truly flourish, he needs a companion—preferably another playful dog—to learn good manners and enjoy his boundless energy. Right now, he’s in a nippy phase, so he'd do best in a home with children aged 8 and older who can engage with him in positive, consistent training. He’s making excellent progress on his house training, signaling when he needs to go outside and using a pee pad if necessary. Plus, he happily sleeps through the night in his crate! Currently, Pineapple is dealing with some itchy skin and missing fur on his ear and body, so his new family should be prepared for some vet follow-ups. This sweet boy is ready for a loving home that recognizes the value of training and companionship. If he sounds like the perfect fit for your family, submit an application today! The adoption fee of $450 includes his spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and other necessary medical care.
