About Barbie

Meet Barbie, one of four adorable puppies on a journey toward a brighter future. These little white pups, along with their mother, were rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, where they faced the challenges of life without a home. Now safe in a loving foster environment, Barbie is beginning to thrive. Her foster is not only caring for her but also teaching humane education in a middle school, ensuring these pups receive plenty of socialization and kindness as they grow. Barbie and her siblings are still developing their personalities, but they’re all expected to remain on the smaller side, just like their mother. They are all well cared for and will be ready for adoption when they reach around three months of age. Barbie gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, making her a wonderful addition to any family. Stay tuned for updates on her journey as she prepares to find a loving forever home in Virginia Beach! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
